Answer 2

Calculation of Price Increase

To calculate the percentage by which the farmer needs to increase the price of their strawberries, we need to consider two factors: the 8% decrease in price compared to last year and the desire to earn 1.2% more money than last year.

Let's assume the price of strawberries last year was $100.

1. 8% decrease in price compared to last year: - The farmer wants to sell the strawberries at a price that is 8% lower than last year's price. - This means the new price would be $100 - (8% of $100) = $92.

2. 1.2% increase in money earned compared to last year: - The farmer wants to earn 1.2% more money than last year. - To calculate the desired earnings, we need to multiply the new price by 1.2% and add it to last year's earnings. - The desired earnings would be $100 + (1.2% of $100) = $101.20.

Now, let's calculate the percentage increase in price needed to achieve the desired earnings:

- Price Increase Percentage = (Desired Earnings - Last Year's Earnings) / Last Year's Earnings * 100 - Price Increase Percentage = ($101.20 - $100) / $100 * 100 = 1.2%

Therefore, the farmer needs to increase the price of their strawberries by 1.2% in order to earn 1.2% more money than last year.

Please note that the calculations above are based on the assumption that the price of strawberries last year was $100.
