Answer 2

Given:

£854

To Find:

Increase by 89 %

Solution:

We have,

New value = 854 + Percentage increase

                  = 854 + (89% × 854)

                  = 854 + 89% × 854

                  = (1 + 89%) × 854

                  = (100% + 89%) × 854

                  = 189% × 854

                  = 189 ÷ 100 × 854

                  = 189 × 854 ÷ 100

                  = 161,406 ÷ 100

                  = 1,614.06

Hence, £854 increased by 89% gives £1,614.06
