Question

What is the result when the number 28 is increased by 25%?

Answer 1

Answer: 35

Explanation:

we know 28 / 4 = 7

so, 7 is 25% of 28, therefore, we can add 7 to 28 and the answer is 35.

Answer 2

Explanation:

To increase a number by a certain percentage, we can multiply the number by (1 + the percentage as a decimal).

To find 25% of 28, we can convert 25% to a decimal by dividing by 100:

25% = 25/100 = 0.25

Now, to find what 28 is increased by 25%, we can multiply 28 by (1 + 0.25):

28 * (1 + 0.25) = 28 * 1.25 = 35

So, the result when 28 is increased by 25% is 35.
