Question

What is the decimal multiplier to increase by 68%

Answer 1

Answer:

1.68

Step-by-step explanation:

let a number be x

68% = 68 / 100

increase of 68% = x + ( 68 / 100 ) * x

= ( 100x / 100 ) + ( 68x / 100 )

= 168x / 100

= ( 168 / 100 ) * x

= 1.68 x

which is 1.68 times of x

so to increase number by 68% we multiply by 1.68
