Answer:
24 increased by 6% = 25.44
Step-by-step explanation:
Introduction. Percent, p%
'Percent (%)' means 'out of one hundred':
p% = p 'out of one hundred',
p% is read p 'percent',
p% = p/100 = p ÷ 100.
6% = 6/100 = 6 ÷ 100 = 0.06.
100% = 100/100 = 100 ÷ 100 = 1.
ncrease the number by 6% of its value.
Percentage increase = 6% × 24
New value = 24 + Percentage increase
Calculate the New Value
New value =
24 + Percentage increase =
24 + (6% × 24) =
24 + 6% × 24 =
(1 + 6%) × 24 =
(100% + 6%) × 24 =
106% × 24 =
106 ÷ 100 × 24 =
106 × 24 ÷ 100 =
2,544 ÷ 100 =
25.44
Calculate absolute change (actual difference)
Absolute change (actual difference) =
New value - 24 =
25.44 - 24 =
1.44
Proof.
Calculate percentage increase...
... And see if we get as a result
the absolute change (actual difference).
Percentage increase =
6% × 24 =
6 ÷ 100 × 24 =
6 × 24 ÷ 100 =
144 ÷ 100 =
1.44
So we have proven that the calculations are correct.
For positive numbers
Absolute change (actual difference) =
Percentage increase
Answer:
24 increased by 6% = 25.44
Absolute change (actual difference):
25.44 - 24 = 1.44
