its okay ill explain it you :)

First step we need to multiply 8 and 25%

soooo
8 x 0.25 = 2

Second step we add 2 and 8
soooo
8 + 2 = 10

So your final answer is 10

Answer 2

In order to find what 8 is with a 25% increase
First lets find out what 25% of 8 is

So in order to find it we multiply 25% by 8
to make things easier we change the 25% to a decimal
25% = 0.25

Now we can multiply.
0.25 x 8 = 2

So since this is a increase we take 8 and add our 25%
25% of 8 = 2
we want an extra 25% with 8
so we add!

8 + 2 = 10

Answer = with a 25% increase 8 becomes 10
