Answer: We can start by translating the given sentence into an equation:
950 + 0.40(950) = x
where x is the unknown amount after the 40% increase.
To solve for x, we can simplify the right-hand side of the equation:
950 + 0.40(950) = x
950 + 380 = x
1330 = x
Therefore, the unknown amount after the 40% increase is 1330.
Rounding 1330 to the nearest tenth gives 1330.0, and converting to a percent gives 133000%.
