+130511 Convert the percentage to a decimal and add 1 to it. Then, multiply this by the number.
For example......suppose 4 is increased by 50%......convert 50% to decimal form = .50
Then, add 1 to this = 1.50
Now, mutiply this by 4 =
4*1.50 = 6
And this is true since 50% of 4 = 2. And we've increased 4 by 2, or 50%
