Question

By what no. must a given number be multiplied to increase it by 12%???

please answer ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the number be x.

=> It is increased by 12%

New number => x+(12/100)x

When we take LCM and do the necessary calculations then x+(12/100)x = (112/100)x.

Now, we will convert 112/100 to it's simplest form :-

=> (112/100)x = (28/25)x

∴ The given number should be multiplied by 28/25 to increase it by 12%.

Answer 2

Answer:

112/100

Step-by-step explanation:

Let that no. be 'x'

And it is multiplied by some no. 'y'

so,

x * y = x + 12% of x

x * y = x + 12x/100

so y = 112/100
