Question

If 230 is increased by 160 percent whats the resulting number

Answer 1

Hey!

If 230 is increased by 160%, then multiply 230 by 160%. First change 160% to a decimal to make it easier to multiply.

To change a percent to a decimal, remove the % sign and move the decimal point 2 places to the left

160% = 1.6

Now multiply

`230 * 1.6 = 368`

That means your answer is 368
