Question

Increase 67cm by 32%???

Answer 1

to work out the percentage

67 divided by 100 = 0.67    

then  x 0.67 by 32  = 21.44  

then add 21.44 to 67 = 88.44cm

Answer 2

67 + 67(32/100)

= 67 + 67(0.32)

= 67 + 21.44

= 88.44

Answer 3

To increase any number by a percentage you multiply it by 1. the percentage change. (so for 32%, that would be 1.32)

Eg. 67 x 1.32 = 88.44

So the answer is 88.44cm

Answer 4

Are you serious? I despair of people asking questions such as this!

32(67/100)...then add that answer to 67...stick the letters 'cm' after it...et voilà!

88.44 cms

(Okay I realise I just broke my own golden rule about not handing out answers in exchange for no effort but I reckon you're either a) just here to make a nuisance of yourself (Jeez, the public school kids are bored!) or b) old enough to have a yahoo account but not old enough to have seen a way of solving this for yourself; in which case your arithmetic skills are probably beyond help anyway!)
