Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The total bill of $3.91 for markers, when divided by the original price per marker of 17¢, does not result in a whole number. This suggests that the price per marker has increased. To find the new price per marker, we need to find a price that, when multiplied by a whole number of markers, equals $3.91. $3.91 is equal to 391 cents. 391 divided by 17 equals 23 with no remainder, indicating that the new price per marker is 23 cents.
