The new number is 600.
How do we get 600? Here’s how:
1. First, we have to get the 25% of 480.
Multiply 480
to 25%.
480
x 25%= n
Change 25% to decimal form.
25/100
(as per value of % symbol)
25% is 0.25
So, 480 x 25% = n is:
480
x 0.25 = 120
2. Add 25% of 480 (120)
and 480.
480 + 120 =
600
Therefore, when 480 is increased by 25%, it is 600.
