Number = n
percentage = p, in decimal, e.g. 50% = 0.5, 120% = 1.2

10 increased by 50% = n+n*p
= 10 + (10*.5)
=15

n+ (n*p) = number increased by percentage of that number

Any number can be increased if the percentage is more than 100%
for instance
120% of 10
120*10/100 =12
here the number 10 is increased to 12

How would you find the area of this shape? ( rectangle and congruent triangle )

ale4655 [162]

Once you know the height and width, multiply them to get the area of the square. To find the perimeter of the square, add all four sides together. To find the area of a triangle, multiply together two of the sides not the hypotenuse and then multiply that figure by 1/2.
