Question

12,000 miles 5% increase
the percent change

Answer 1

Since we are increasing by 5% , the new value will be:

(100 + 5) % = 105% of the value. We added 100% to it because of the increase.

= 12 000 × 105%

= 12 000 × 105/100

= 12 000 × 1.05 = 12 600

Answer 2

The new miles is 12600 miles.

Explanation:

12,000 miles 5% increase.

Let the new value be = x

We get the following calculation.

x=
`12000+(0.05*12000)`

x=
`12000+600`

x = 12600 miles.

Hence, the new miles is 12600 miles.
