Find the result when 65 is increased by 40%.

Please explain how to do this.

you have to change the 40% to a decimal. 40 divided by 100 is 0.40. Therefore when you add 65 and 0.40 it will equal 65.4.

To increase 65 by 40%, convert 40% to a decimal (0.40) and multiply it by 65, giving 26. Then, add this increase to the original number, resulting in 91.
