Question

Use the multiplier method to increase £258 by 43

Answer 1

Answer:

The new value after an increase

of £258 by 43 will be: 368.94

Step-by-step explanation:

As we have to increase £258 by 43 using the multiplier method.

Let 'n' represent the new value after the increase of £258 by 43 using the multiplier method.

Using the formula

n = 258 + percentage increase

   $=258+\left(43\%\:258\right)$

   $=258\:+\:43\%\:\times 258$

Factoring out 258

    $=\left(1\:+\:43\%\right)\:\times \:258$

as 1 = 100 / 100 = 100%

so

   $=\left(100\%\:+\:43\%\right)\:\times \:258$

   $=143\%\:\times \:258$

    $=\frac{143}{100}\times 258$

    $=\:\frac{143\times 258\:\:}{100}$

    $=\:\frac{36,894\:\:}{100}$

    $=368.94$

Therefore, the new value after an increase

of £258 by 43 will be: 368.94
