Question

which of the following is equal to 850 percent greater than 8*10^3

Answer 1

8 * 10^3  =  8, 000

850 % of  8, 000 =  8, 000 * 850/100  = 68, 000

So desired number is =  8, 000 + 68, 000 = 76 , 000

Answer 2

8 * 10^3 gets you 8,000

and 850% of 8,000, to get it, do so: 8,000 * 850/100 = 68,000

And so your desired number, well, 8, 000 + 68, 000 gets you 76,000 right?

then your answer is 76,000! Great job! Glad to help. MC
