Question

Increase 260 by 174%

Answer 1

the answer is 712.4 I believe

Answer 2

712.4

Explanation:

X + (X × P%) = Y

X(1 + P%) = Y

Solving our equation for Y

Y = X(1 + P%)

Y = 260(1 + 174%)

Converting percent to decimal:

p = 174%/100 = 1.74

Y = 260(1 + 1.74)

Y = 260(2.74)

Y = 712.4

The 174% added was 452.4

260 × 174% = 452.4
