TRUE or FALSE: Percent increase just means you add that percent to the number.

For example, $20 increased by 50% equals $70.
O True
O False. 50% increase means it increases by half the amount. So $20 increased by 50% equals
$30
O False. 50% increase means it increases by half the amount. So $20 increased by 50% equals
$45
O False. 50% increase means it increases by half the amount. So $20 increased by 50% equals
$40
