Question

An older TV screen was 26 centimeters wide. The newer model increased the screen size by 6 percent. How wide is the new TV Screen?

Answer 1

27.56 cm

Explanation:

→ Identify the multiplier

( 100 + 6 ) ÷ 100 = 1.06

→ Multiply by the length

26 × 1.06 = 27.56

Answer 2

We are given the initial width of the screen which is 26 centimeters and they are asking us to find how wide the new model is which is 6 percent larger than the initial one. This is just a simple multiplication between the initial length and the percent increase.

`New\ Width = \ Initial\ Width * (Total\ Percent + Increased\ Percent)`

`New\ Width = 26\ cm * (1 + 0.06)`

`New\ Width = 26\ cm * (1.06)`

`New\ Width = 27.56\ cm`

Therefore, our final answer is that our new width is 27.56 cm
