Question

What is the result when the number 38 is increased by 50%?

Answer 1

Explanation:

So you've got 38 to which you add 50% of 38 since we're talking about increasing.

You can either use percentage directly in your calculation, or you can see it as 50/100, meaning 1/2.

`38+38*50/100 = 38 + 38*1/2 = 38 + 19 = 57\\`

And here you go !
