Question

What is the result when 124 is increased by 6.5%

Answer 1

You multiply 124 (0.065) which gets you 8.06. You then add 8.06 to 124 and you get 132.06.

Answer 2

132.06

Explanation:

6.5% = 0.065, so the 6.5% of 124 is 124*0.065= 8.06. Now, the increasing is the total plus the percentage, that is

124 + 124*0.065 = 124 + 8.06 = 132.06.
