Answer 1

Given:

Increase 15837.77 by 8.5%.

To find:

The answer rounded to two decimal places.

Solution:

We have,

Initial value = 15837.77

Increasing percent = 8.5%

Now, the value after increasing by 8.5 % is

$\text{Required value}=15837.77+\dfrac{8.5}{100}(15837.77)$

$\text{Required value}=15837.77+1346.21045$

$\text{Required value}=17183.98045$

Round the value to two decimal places.

$\text{Required value}\approx 17183.98$

Therefore, the required value is 17183.98.
