Last year 40 people adopted a manatee through Fia’s foundation. This year 15% more people adopted a manatee. How many people adopted a manatee this year?

For this question you would multiply 40 times 15% which would equal 6 and add 6+40 which is 46. So that would be the amount of people that adopted a manatee.
