To find the new amount after increasing a number by a certain percentage, you need to follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert the percentage into a decimal. To do this, divide the percentage by 100.
Step 2: Multiply the original number by the decimal obtained in step 1.
Step 3: Add the result of step 2 to the original number to find the new amount.
Let's solve the first problem:
#4) Increase 35 by 40%
Step 1: 40% = 40/100 = 0.4 (decimal)
Step 2: 35 x 0.4 = 14
Step 3: 14 + 35 = 49
Therefore, the new amount after increasing 35 by 40% is 49.
Now let's solve the second problem:
#5) Increase 125 by 8%
Step 1: 8% = 8/100 = 0.08 (decimal)
Step 2: 125 x 0.08 = 10
Step 3: 10 + 125 = 135
Therefore, the new amount after increasing 125 by 8% is 135.
I hope this explanation helps you understand the process of finding the new amount when increasing by a certain percentage. Let me know if you have any further questions!
