Currently guavas cost 60 cents/pound. Due to a disease affecting the guava trees it is expected that next month apples will cost 250% more than they do currently. How much are guavas expected to cost next month?  Choose the correct option
A) 110 cents /pound
B) 150 cents /pound
C) 180 cents /pound
D) 200 cents /pound
E) 210 cents /pound
If a new cost is p percent greater than the old cost, then (new cost) = (old cost) + (p/100)(old cost).   In this case, (new cost) = 60 cents/pound + (250/100)(60 cents/pound)   = 60 cents/pound + 150 cents/pound   = 210 cents /pound   Answer : 210 cents /pound
