Given the statement:
20 is increased by 50%
Determine the new amount.
Solution:
In order to easily determine the amount, we simply needed to use logical analysis. We all know that half of 20 is 10, therefore 50% of 20 is simply 10. Now to determine the new amount, we just need to add 10 by 20.
= 10 + 20
= 30
Final answer:
= 30
