Find the amount of increase if 740 is increased by 40%

740 * 0.4 = ?

296 :)

Yep.

To find the amount of increase when a number is increased by a certain percentage, you need to multiply the original number by the percentage increase and divide it by 100.

In this case, we have 740 as the original number and it is increased by 40%.

Step 1:
Multiply 740 by 40% (which is equivalent to 0.40 in decimal form):

740 * 0.40 = 296

Step 2:
Divide the result by 100:

296 / 100 = 2.96

Therefore, the amount of increase is 2.96.
