Answer:
The expression does not represent a percent increase greater than 12%.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are asked to find whether the expression represent a percent increase greater than 12% if the original amount is x.
First of all, we will find 12% increase. The total amount after x% increase would be original amount plus 12% of original amount.
Since 1.12 is greater than 1.016, therefore, the expression does not represent a percent increase greater than 12%.
We can rewrite as:
Let us convert to percent by multiplying by 100.
Since 1.6% is less than 12%, therefore, the expression does not represent a percent increase greater than 12%.
