Answer:

The increase rent is $ 1.86

Step-by-step explanation:

According to question :

Let the rent of store = $x

So, The price of lipstick and nail polish = $ 12.46

Now The rent of store increase more than 100% = x + 100% of x

Or, The new rent of store = 2x

So, for new rent , the price of  lipstick and nail polish = $ 14.32

∴ Rent of store

2x - x = $ 14.32 - $ 12.46

Or, x = $ 1.86

So, The new rent of store = 2x = 2 × $ 1.86 = $ 3.72

∴ The rent is increased by $ 3.72 - $ 1.86 = $ 1.86

Hence The increase rent is $ 1.86   Answer
