What is 25% more than 80?

Answer 2

100

Explanation:

When being asked what is x% more than y (y is something), you can use the formula 25% * y + y. However, you must convert the percent into a decimal for it to be used mathematically.

25% = 0.25

Now we can plug all of the numbers in.

0.25 * 80 + 80

20 + 80

100
