Right.
To find out how much money Rowan raised this year, we need to calculate 15% of the amount he raised last year and then add it to the amount he raised last year.
Step 1: Calculate 15% of the amount raised last year
15% of 640 can be found by multiplying 640 by 0.15
15% of 640 = 0.15 * 640 = 96
Step 2: Add the amount raised last year to the 15% increase to find the amount raised this year
Amount raised this year = Amount raised last year + 15% increase
Amount raised this year = 640 + 96 = 736
Therefore, Rowan raised $736 this year.
