Question

A value of 600 increases by 15%.

What is the new value?


A
645

B
660

C
690

D
720

Answer 1

The answer is c because you can do the method of cross multiplication 15/100 and 0/600. You multiply the 600 and 15 and divide by 100 which will equal 90 and then since it’s a increase you ADD 600 and 90 which you get the number 690

Answer 2

A. 645 because if you divide like quarters you will get 645
