Question

Determine the amount if you want to increase your income 25% you currently make $250 /week

Answer 1

$312.50 is your new income.

Explanation:

First, multiply 25% with 250. Change the percentage into a decimal.

25% = 25/100 = 0.25

Multiply 0.25 with 250:

250 x 0.25 = 62.5

Because the amount is being added (increase of income), add the amount found to the original amount:

250 + 62.5 = 312.5

$312.50 is your new income.
