Question

What is the decimal multiplier to increase by 75%​

Answer 1

1.75

Explanation:

Let the number to be increased be x

If x is to be increased by 75% then the result after the increase T may be expressed as

T = x + 75% * x

T = x + 0.75x

T = 1.75x

As such when x is increased by 75%, the result is the product of x and 1.75 (the multiplier).
