Question

150 increased by 170% is what

Answer 1

To find any percentage increase, you multiply the decimal version of that perfect by the amount you want to find the percentage of, and the ADD THAT to your original price

formula: original price + original price (decimal version of the the percent)

so let's do that!

original price = 150

that's pretty easy to see, but what about the decimal version of the percent? all you gotta do is more the decimal to the left two times.

170% = 1.70

soooo decimal version of percent = 1.7

let's fill this into the formula!

150 + 1.7 (150) = 405 <<there's you're answer. hope that helps!
