Question

When a number is tripled, the number gets increased by _______.
i. 300% ii. 100% iii. 150% iv. 200%

Answer 1

Answer:

200%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x$ is a number.

when $x$ become tripled $= 3x$

$x+2x=3x$

than,

$x$ increased by $2x$

so find the increasing % with respect to $x$,

$\frac{2x}{x}(100)= 200$%

hence when a number is tripled, the number gets increased by 200%.
