<h3>
There are 2 answers: choice C, choice D</h3>
====================================================
Explanation:
32% = 32/100 = 0.32
32% of 400 = 0.32*400 = 400(0.32), which adds onto the original 400 to get 400+400(0.32). This is why choice D is one of the answers.
We can factor out the GCF 400 to go from 400+400(0.32) to 400(1+0.32) which then simplifies to 400(1.32) or just 400*1.32. This shows choice C is the other answer. Using a calculator,
400+400(0.32) = 400 + 128 = 528
400*1.32 = 528
meaning that 400+400(0.32) = 400*1.32
The other answer choices result in other values, showing that they aren't equivalent to 528.
That's <u>always</u> true if <em>either</em> the exponent <em>or </em>the base is less than ' 1 '.
(But not always of they both are.)
