Step-by-step explanation:

1.45% ×10,000=(1.45÷100)×10,000

=(1.45×10,000)÷100=14,500÷100=145

Answer 2

Multiplying by 1.45 is the same as increasing by 145%.

Step-by-step explanation:

• When we multiply by 1.45, we get 145 as a percentage increase because:

$1.45\%\times10,000=(1.45/100)\times10,000$

∴ $(1.45\times10,000)/100$

∴ $14,500/100$

⇒ $145$
