Question

Find the new amount 2000 miles increased by 33%

Answer 1

`2,660\ miles`

Explanation:

we know that

The amount of 2,000 miles represent 100%

If the amount is increased by 33%

then

The new percent of the amount will be

100%+33%=133%

so

using proportion

`(2,000)/(100\%)=(x)/(133\%)\\\\x=2,000(133)/100\\\\x=2,660\ miles`
