Question

Increase 600 by 8⅓%.​

Answer 1

650

Explanation:

calculate 8
`(1)/(3)`% of 600 then add this value to 600 for increase

8
`(1)/(3)` % × 600 ← convert mixed number to improper fraction

=
`(25)/(3)` % × 600

=
`((25)/(3) )/(100)` × 600 ( % is out of 100 )

=
`(25)/(300)` × 600

= 25 × 2

= 50

then increase is 50

so 600 increased by 8
`(1)/(3)` % = 600 + 50 = 650
