Question

The expression x + 0.25x can be used to determine a 25% increase in the number of blog views from last month to this month. What expression shows this another way?

Answer 1

1.25x

Explanation:

Given that :

25% Increase in number of blog views can be expressed as (x + 0.25x)

Another way to make this representation is :

Total number of blog views + 25% of total

Total should add up to 100%

Let number of views = x

Hence,

(100% + 25%) of x

125% of x

125%x

= 1.25x
