<u><em>Explanation:</em></u> <u><em>First, we will compute 25% of 8 as follows:</em></u> 25% of 8 = 25% * 8 = 0.25 * 8 = 2
Now, 8 increased by 25% of 8 means that <u>we will add the 25% of the 8 that we computed to the 8</u> we have. <u><em>Therefore</em></u>: 8 increased by 25% = 8 + 25% of 8 = 8 + 2 = 10 meters
