150+150×250%
answer is 550

TaylorUnknown: I don’t get it why do you add 150 twice
Abhideepta: first time 150 is added because question was that
Abhideepta: and second time because we need to find 250% of 150
TaylorUnknown: But the scientists has a population of 150 flies not 300
TaylorUnknown: ohhh Now I get it sorry to disturb you
TaylorUnknown: my bad
TaylorUnknown: Bye
Abhideepta: you can only calculate the 250% of 150 by multiplying it.It is the only method
Abhideepta: bye Taylor
