Question

What is 16% more than 2.5

Answer 1

2.9

Explanation:

You can find this answer two different ways.

First, you can turn the percent into a decimal, multiply the two numbers, and add them together. (0.16 * 2.5) and then (0.4 + 2.5)

Second, you could find the decimal and add it to 1.0 so you get 1.16 and multiply by 2.5. (1.16 * 2.5)
