___ Increased by 130% is 69
\(x \cdot \dfrac{130}{100} = 69\\ x = 69 \dfrac{100}{130} = \dfrac{690}{13} \approx 53.077\)
Hey Rom..... that is only a 30% increase......
The answer will be the value of x in the following:
x + (130% times x) = 69 increased by 130% means add another 130% to itself
x + 1.3x = 69 note that 130% = 1.3
2.3x = 69
x = 69/2.3
x = 30
