22.46 equivalent an increase 49.5%

Answer 2

22.46

Explanation:

'Percent (%)' means 'out of one hundred':

p% = p 'out of one hundred',

p% is read p 'percent',

p% = p/100 = p ÷ 100.

49.5% = 49.5/100 = 49.5 ÷ 100 = 0.495.

100% = 100/100 = 100 ÷ 100 = 1.

Increase the number by 49.5% of its value.

Percentage increase = 49.5% × 22.46

New value = 22.46 + Percentage increase
