What is 8 meters increased by 28%?
Well, first, you need to convert 28% to a decimal by moving the decimal two to the left by dividing by 100
28÷100=.28
or
28%⇒28⇒.28
Then you multiply
8 meters times .28
\(8m*.28=2.24\)
Then you add 2.24 to 8m (since its the original number)
\(2.24m+8m=10.24m\)
Your answer is 10.24m
