Given the statement:
8 meters increased by 25%.
Solution:
In order to determine the answer, we simply multiply the decimal valueof 25% to 8 then add the product back to 8. In converting a percentage into decimal, divide the percentage by 100, hence in converting a decimal to percentage, multiply the percentage by 100.
= 25/100
= 0.25
= (0.25)(8)
= 2
= 2 + 8
= 10 meters
Final answer:
= 10 meters
