Answer 2

Let's start by expressing "Z increased by 16%" using algebra.

Let Z be the original value of some quantity.

To increase Z by 16%, we need to add 16% of Z to Z:

Z + 0.16Z

Simplifying this expression by factoring out Z, we get:

Z(1 + 0.16)

Combining like terms, we have:

Z(1.16)

Therefore, "Z increased by 16%" can be expressed algebraically as:

Z increased by 16% = Z(1.16)
