Question

£245 increased by 25%?

Answer 1

61.25 Euro

Explanation:

Hopefully this is right. I'm American so I had to do a little converting with the currency. How you solve it is you multiply 245 by 25 and then divide by 100. Whenever percentage is involved think of the butterfly method.

`x/250=25/100`

In this problem X is what you're trying to solve for; what the number will be AFTER the increase. The denominator will always be the original amount/price. Then on the other side you put the percentage over 100, since percentages go from 0% to 100%, kinda like quarters.

Answer 2

306.25

Explanation:

What you need to do is multiply 245 by .25 (the decimal form of 25%). Then you should get 61.25, which is what the increase would be. Then, using the product, add 245 with 61.25 and you'll get the answer.

(Hope this helps)
