Question

I wrote these questions as one big question but decided to do them separately...

Last year you had 350 tracks on a music player. This year you have 28% more. How many tracks do you have altogether this year?

Answer 1

448 tracks

Explanation:

So first we need to figure out what 28% of 350 is and then add that value onto 350.

• First we need to convert 28% into a decimal or a fraction
• 28% is equivalent to 0.28,
  `(28)/(100)`, and
  `(7)/(25)`
• I will use 0.28 for simplicity

To figure out what 28% of 350 is, we need to multiply 350 by one of the three options above

• (350)(0.28) = 98 tracks

Now that we have figured out what 28% of 350 is, we can now add this value to 350 to get the total number of tracks.

• 350 + 98 = 448 tracks
