Question

8 meters increased by 25% is how many meters.

Answer 1

Since 25% is 1/4 of 100%, then you do 8/4 and you get 2 and then you do 2 + 8 = 10.

Answer 2

First find 25% of 8
multiply 25/100 or 0.25 by 8. you get 2. This is the same as dividing 8 by 4 (or
8  x 1/4).
Then add that 25%, which is 2, to 8 meters and you get 10 meters
easy peasy :)

hope this helps
