Method 1:
80 * .4 + 80 = 32 + 80 = 112
Method 2:
1. Add 100% to 40% = 140%
2. Convert 140% to decimal form: 140%/100 = 1.4
3. Multiple 1.4 * 80 = 112 <--- this is your answer.
Note: The reason you add 100% to the 40% is because the phrase "increase 80" means you have to add 100% of 80 (which is 80 * (100%/100) = 80 * 1 = 80) to the increasing percentage (80 * 40% = 80 * (40%/100) = 80 * .4 = 32) to get your final answer (80 + 32 = 112).
It looks like this in summary form:
80 * 100% = 80 * (100%/100) = 80 * 1 = 80
80 * 40% = 80 * ( 40%/100) = 80 * .4 = 32
80 + 32 = 112
You should be able to easily see that you can add 100% + 40% to get 140%, which converts to the decimal number 1.4
1.4 * 80 = your answer (i.e. 112).
==============
Previous explanation:
Right so you take 80, divide it by 10 (100 if you wanna stay with the full shabang) then multiply it by 4 (40 if you have already divided by 100) and the answer will be 32. add this number to 80.
The answer is 112
50% of 80= 50% * 80= 0.5 * 80= 4050percent of 80 is equal to 40
80% of 40 is 32. 80% = 0.8 40 * 0.8 = 32
40 % of 80 = 40 / 100 x 80 = 3200 / 100 = 32
50% of £80 = £40 = 50% * £80 = 50%/100% * £80 = £40
40% of 200 is 80 :)
80% increase.
50% of 80= 50% * 80= 0.5 * 80= 4050percent of 80 is equal to 40
40 out of 80=40/80=.5 .5 is 50 percent, and larger than 40 percent.
32 is 40 percent of 80:40% of 80= 40% * 80= 40%/100% * 80= 4 * 8= 32
118.75 is the percent increase from 80 to 95.
Here's another way to ask the question: If you have a number and increase it by 40 percent you get 80. What is the number? Let x be the number you're looking for. Forty percent of the number can be expressed as 0.40x (because 40% = 0.40). The question said that x is increased by 40 percent, which implies addition, so the equation is x + 0.40x = 80 1.4x = 80 x = 80/1.4 = 57.14
40% of 80= 32.
40, as a percentage of 80 is 100*40/80 = 50%
It is an 80% increase.
80 is 40% of 200
50 percent of 80 equals 40.
+40% + 40% = 80%
