What is the new amount when you increase 40 by 25%?

Asked by Brcolvin

Answer (3)

In order to do this, you would multiply 40 by 1.25, which would be 50. Another way to do it, (this way uses more work, but you can use it to double check your answer) would be multiplying 40 * 0.25 (which equals 10) then add the answer onto the number. 40 + 10 = 50.

Answer: 50
Step-by-step explanation:
25% of 40 = 25/100 × 40 = 10
Increasing 40 by 25% implies,
40 + 10 = 50
Therefore, the new amount when 40 is increased by 25% is 50.

When you increase 40 by 25%, you find 25% of 40, which is 10, and then add it to 40. This gives you a new amount of 50.
