Question

What is £200 increased by 15%

Answer 1

$230 is your answer!

Answer 2

In order to find the answer, you must first find 15% of £200.

What I usually do, is make a small chart with 200 equaling 100%, and an unknown number being equal to 15%. Therefore it would look something like this:

200 100

? 15

Now, multiply 200 by whatever number is diagonally across to it, meaning the number 15.

`200*15=3000`

Next, divide the product by whatever is across from 200, which means 100.

`3000/100=30`

15% of 200 is 30

Now add 30 to original amount, which was £200, and you get your answer:

`200+30=230`

Your total is £230
