Question

Increase 48m by 20% ??????????????????????????////

Answer 1

You need to increase 48 by 20%.

First, change 20% to a decimal: 0.20

Next, multiply 48*0.20=9.6

Now, add 9.6 to 48.

Your final answer is: 57.6 meters.

Answer 2

Someone else on Brainly had the same question, he showed the work so I copied it so you can see it.

We have 48 meters.
We need to increase it by 20%.
That means we have 48 and then we increase it by 20%.

That can be expressed as:
48 + (48 * 20%)

Now, another way to write that would be:

48 * 120%

Now, 120% is nothing but 120/100. This can even be simplified to 1.2.

48 * 120%
= 48 * 1.2
= 57.6

48m increased by 20% is 57.6m.
