Answer 1

Answer 2

What is 8 meters increased by 28%?

Well, first, you need to convert 28% to a decimal by moving the decimal two to the left by dividing by 100

28÷100=.28
or
28%⇒28⇒.28

Then you multiply

8 meters times .28


`8m*.28=2.24`

Then you add 2.24 to 8m (since its the original number)


`2.24m+8m=10.24m`

Your answer is 10.24m
