Question

What is the result when the number 60 is increased by 60%

Answer 1

96

Explanation:

A quick but accurate way to approach this question would be to multiply 60 by 1.60. We get 1.60(60) = 96.

Note that 1(60) = 60, and that 0.60(60) = 36, and that 60 + 36 = 96. The earlier method is faster.
