Answer 1

225.5

Explanation:

So, you would start by doing

220 times 2.5% that would equal 5.5

Then you would add

220 + 5.5 = 225.5

Therefore your answer will be 225.5

Answer 2

225.5

Explanation:

220 + (2.5% × 220) =

220 + 2.5% × 220 =

(1 + 2.5%) × 220 =

(100% + 2.5%) × 220 =

102.5% × 220 =

102.5 ÷ 100 × 220 =

102.5 × 220 ÷ 100 =

22,550 ÷ 100 =

225.5
