Question

There was a population of 160 bears in a National Park. After a year, the population increased by 15%.

How many bears are there in the park now?

Answer 1

184

Explanation:

Increased by 15%: there are 15%, or 0.15 more bears.

To solve, we need to add the number of bears last year, and the number of new bears in the park.

1 * 160 + 0.15 * 160 =

1.15 * 160 =

184 bears
