Question

8 meters increased by 25% find new amount

Answer 1

Answer: 10 meters

=====================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Take 25% of 8 to get 0.25*8 = 2

The length increased by 2 meters, meaning that the final length is

8+2 = 10

-----

Alternatively, multiply 1.25 by 8 to get 1.25*8 = 10

The 1.25 multiplier refers to 100% + 25% = 1.00 + 0.25 = 1.25

So we start with 100% (the original value 8) and then add on 25% of that (2) to get the final answer 10

Answer 2

[ 8+0.25(8)] m = 10m hope this is the right answer .
