I don't understand what this question is implying. . The number of cells increased 160 percent. If the original number was 800, what was the final
number?
Yes, it is a bit vague. If it had said "increased by 160%" then that would mean that 160% (or 1.6 times) the original amount was added, making the final population 800 + 1.6*800 = 2080
But maybe they meant that it "increased to" 160% of its current value, making the final value 1.6 * 800 = 1280
In general, though, I'd go with the first reading. If someone says that their money increased 100%, it means that it doubled (added 100%).
Thanks, oobleck!
To find the final number of cells, follow these steps:
Step 1: Calculate the increase in the number of cells.
The increase in the number of cells can be found by multiplying the original number (800) by the percentage increase (160% or 1.60).
Increase = Original Number * Percentage Increase
Increase = 800 * 1.60
Step 2: Add the increase to the original number.
To find the final number, add the increase to the original number of cells.
Final Number = Original Number + Increase
Final Number = 800 + (800 * 1.60)
Step 3: Calculate the final number of cells.
You can now solve the equation.
Final Number = 800 + (800 * 1.60)
Final Number = 800 + 1280
Final Number = 2080
Therefore, the final number of cells is 2080.
To solve this problem, you need to understand what it means when the number of cells increases by 160 percent. An increase of 160 percent means you are adding 160 percent of the original number to the original number.
To calculate the final number, you can use the following steps:
Step 1: Determine the increase in number.
The increase is equal to 160 percent of the original number. To calculate this, multiply the original number by 160 percent (or 1.6 since 160 percent is the same as 1.6):
Increase = 800 * 1.6 = 1280
Step 2: Calculate the final number.
The final number is obtained by adding the increase to the original number:
Final number = Original number + Increase = 800 + 1280 = 2080
Therefore, the final number of cells is 2080.
