John commissions an artist to make him a 9 by 13 drawing. A black and white drawing that size would cost $160. He wants a color drawing so that is 50% more expensive. How much did he pay?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
The extra cost for coloring is 160 * .5 = $80. So the total cost was 160 + 80 = $240.
Thus, the answer is 240.
