To find:

The algebraic expression for the given statement.

Solution:

We know that "+" sign is used when a value increased.

It is given that
`a` increased by
`b\%`. So, it can be written as:

`a` increased by
`b\%`
`=a+b\%\text{ of }a`

`=a+(b)/(100)* a`

`=a+(ab)/(100)`

Therefore, the required algebraic expression is
`a+(ab)/(100)`.
