Increase 48m by 20%? Help Please I'm Useless At Math<3
We have 48 meters.
We need to increase it by 20%.
That means we have 48 and then we increase it by 20%.
That can be expressed as:
48 + (48 20%)
Now, another way to write that would be:
48 120%
Now, 120% is nothing but 120/100. This can even be simplified to 1.2.
48 120%
= 48 1.2
= 57.6
48m increased by 20% isĀ 57.6m.
You multiply 48m with 20% and add that to 48m.
20% can be written as 20/100.
\(48m\times\frac{20}{100}+48m\)
\(\frac{48m\times20}{100}+48m\)
\(\frac{960m}{100}+48m\)
\(9.6m+48m\)
\({\boxed{57.6m}\)
