you must show your working out

Answer 1

New value =

88 + Percentage increase =

88 + (14% × 88) =

88 + 14% × 88 =

(1 + 14%) × 88 =

(100% + 14%) × 88 =

114% × 88 =

114 ÷ 100 × 88 =

114 × 88 ÷ 100 =

10,032 ÷ 100 =

100.32

Answer 2

The answer is £100.32.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the multiplier method, a thing that is 100% and experiences an increase of suppose 10%, then its value would be 110%. (We just add the increase to 100)

So, here, we have been given £88(100%), so its increase by 14% means, the result should be 114%.

So, 114% of £88 $= \frac {114}{100}\times 88$ $= \frac {10032}{100}$ $= 100.32$
