Question

What is the result of increasing 50 by 30%?

Answer 1

Answer:

50 increased by 30% is 65

Step-by-step explanation:

'Percent (%)' means 'out of one hundred':

p% = p 'out of one hundred',

p% is read p 'percent',

p% = p/100 = p ÷ 100.

30% = 30/100 = 30 ÷ 100 = 0.3.

100% = 100/100 = 100 ÷ 100 = 1.

Percentage increase = 30% × 50

New value = 50 + Percentage increase

Calculate

New value =

50 + Percentage increase =

50 + (30% × 50) =

50 + 30% × 50 =

(1 + 30%) × 50 =

(100% + 30%) × 50 =

130% × 50 =

130 ÷ 100 × 50 =

130 × 50 ÷ 100 =

6,500 ÷ 100 =

65

Or just find 30% of 50 (15) and add that
