THIS IS HOW I WOULD DO IT EXAMPLE INCREASING
7% OF 100 1%=100/100=1 7%=1X7=7
NEW AMOUNT = 100+7=107

To increase an amount by 7%, the single multiplier used is 1.07. This represents the original amount plus the 7% increase. Therefore, you multiply the original amount by 1.07 to find the new amount.
