Q. What is the result when the number

27

is increased by

8 \%

? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

\newline

Answer:

Understand Percentage Increase: Understand that increasing a number by a percentage means you are adding that percentage of the number to itself. To find $8\%$ of $27$ , we need to convert $8\%$ to a decimal and then multiply it by $27$ .
Convert Percentage to Decimal: Convert $8\%$ to a decimal by dividing $8$ by $100$ , which equals $0.08$ .
Multiply to Find $8$ % of $27$ : Multiply $27$ by $0.08$ to find out how much $8\%$ of $27$ is. The calculation is $27 \times 0.08 = 2.16$ .
Add to Original Number: Add the $8\%$ (which is $2.16$ ) to the original number $27$ to find the increased amount. The calculation is $27 + 2.16 = 29.16$ .
Round to Nearest Tenth: Round the result to the nearest tenth. The number $29.16$ rounded to the nearest tenth is $29.2$ .
