What is the decimal multiplier to increase by 1.5 pls do the step by step explanation ineed help

Answer 1

Answer:

Just an explanation so you can understand

Step-by-step explanation:

To increase, or decrease a number N, by a percentage X% we multiply N by a percentage multiplier (often just called multiplier).

We can calculate any percentage increase, or decrease, in three steps:

Step 1: write X% in decimal form. Remember, this is done by moving the number X back two decimal places.

Example: 5%=0.05, 12%=0.12, ... .

Step 2: Calculate the percentage multiplier by adding, or subtracting, the decimal found in step 1 to, or from, 1

For percentage increases: add the decimal to 1.

For percentage decreases: subtract the decimal from 1.

Step 3: multiply the number N by the multiplier, found in Step 2.
