120 times 75%=90 90+120=210
If 8 is increased to 12, the increase is what percentage of the original number?
Short answer: 0.69Take 100. 31% = 31, 100-31=69Of course, when you increase the result by 31 percent you do not get the 100 back. But that was not the question.But, for completeness what do I multiply by to get the number, when adding 31 percent, gives me the original number, it is 0.7633 (1/1.31)
Whether the change is an increase or decrease . . . -- Divide the new number by the original number. -- Multiply the result by 100. -- Subtract 100. -- Now you have the percent of change.
To increase a number by 15 percent, multiply the number by 1.15. For example, 60 plus 15 percent is equal to 60 x 1.15 = 69.
To increase 45 by 20 percent, you first calculate 20 percent of 45 by multiplying 45 by 0.20, which equals 9. Then, you add this result to the original number: 45 + 9 = 54. Therefore, increasing 45 by 20 percent results in 54.
If you multiply a number by 1.25 the answer will be the original amount plus 25% of the original amount. This is quicker and easier than figuring 25% and then adding.
If 8 is increased to 12, the increase is what percentage of the original number?
Ram : The amount of increase is the new value after growth less the original amount before the growth. The percent growth is the amount of increase times 100% divided by the original amount. As an example, let's say the number of employee in a company grows from 800 one year to 896 the next. First, subtract: 896 - 800 = 96. This is the increase. Next, divide by the original amount: 96(100%) / 800 = 12%. This is the percent increase.
It is a percentage change - unless the increase changes a negative number to a positive number or a decrease does the opposite.
You can't get a percent increase if the original number is 0. Anything that you divide by 0 is 0.
First you subtract the new number from the original number then divide it by the original number and multiply that by 100 original-new __________*100 original
percent increase and decrease is how much percent it had increased from a certain amount of number, like discounts and markups
I think you subtract the new amount from the original amount and then move the decimal over twice to the right of the number and that's your percent. :)
580
You multiply the percent ( so 40% = .4) by the number then add the product to the original number.
Move the decimal point one number to the left and add your new number to the original.
The final result is 10.4% more than the original number.
