Question

What is the result when the number 12 is increased by 25%?

Answer 1

12 divided by 4 is 25% so add the 12 and four together

Answer 2

12.25

Explanation:

Since 12 is increased by 25%

It means that 12+25%

Note that the increased means that 25% is added

So let's solve

12+25%

% means 100

12+(25/100)

12+0.25

12.25

So the final answer is 12.25
