Question

Which of the following multipliers will cause a number to be increased by 29.7% ?

Answer 1

the answer is very simple

we know it will equal to 297/1000

Answer 2

Answer:

1.297 or $\frac{129.7}{100}$ or $\frac{1297}{1000}$ or $1\frac{297}{1000}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be a number,

29.7% of x = $\frac{29.7}{100}x$

Thus, if x is increased by 29.7 %,

Then resultant number = x + 29.7% of x

$x+\frac{29.7}{100}x$

$=\frac{100x+29.7x}{100}$

$=\frac{129.7}{100}x$

$=\frac{1297}{1000}x$

$=1\frac{297}{1000}x$

$=1.297x$
