Answer 2

The new number is 600. How do we get 600? Here’s how:
  1. First, we have to get the 25% of 480.
      Multiply 480 to 25%.
                   480 x 25%= n
Change 25% to decimal form.
                   25/100 (as per value of % symbol)
                   25% is 0.25 So, 480 x 25% = n is:
                 480 x 0.25 = 120
   2.  Add 25% of 480 (120) and 480.
                480 + 120 = 600
 Therefore, when 480 is increased by 25%, it is 600.
