In order to find what 8 is with a 25% increase
First lets find out what 25% of 8 is
So in order to find it we multiply 25% by 8
to make things easier we change the 25% to a decimal
25% = 0.25
Now we can multiply.
0.25 x 8 = 2
So since this is a increase we take 8 and add our 25%
25% of 8 = 2
we want an extra 25% with 8
so we add!
8 + 2 = 10
Answer = with a 25% increase 8 becomes 10
