Q. Last year, a lighting supplier called Bright Idea shipped a total of 7,4007,400 lamps to its distributors. This year, the supplier shipped 79%79\% more than that. How many lamps did Bright Idea ship this year?\newline____ lamps
  1. Calculate Increase: Calculate the increase in the number of lamps shipped based on the percentage increase.\newlineCalculation: Increase = 79%79\% of 7,4007,400 = 0.79×7,4000.79 \times 7,400 = 5,8465,846 lamps.
  2. Find Total: Add the increase to last year's total to find this year's total.\newlineCalculation: Total lamps this year = 7,400+5,846=13,2467,400 + 5,846 = 13,246 lamps.
