How to increase 1500 by 1%

Answer 1

One percent if 1500 is 15.. Your answer is 1515

Answer 2

We just need to find out what is 1% of 1500 
We do that by multiplying them by each other. 
but first lets change 1% into a decimal.
1% = 0.01 
Now we multiply 
1500 x 0.01 = 15 

Since they are asking to increase 1500 we add 15 
sooo

1500 + 15 = 1515 

Your answer = 1515
