Josh currently bench presses 150 lbs. He increases that amount by 10% a month for three months. About how much can he bench press now?

This is a % increase and decrease question:
1. Change the % into a decimal
2. Multiply(.10 * 150)
3. Add your answer with 150

10% of 150 is 15.

15*3 (months) + 45

150 + 45 = 195lbs
