What is 140% of 250? Is your answer going to be more or less than 250? Explain. (To get full credit you must explain why you chose more or less.)

Answer:

140% of 250 = 350.  350 is greater than 250

Step-by-step explanation:

140%=1.4

1.4 x 250 = x

x=350

or

what you can also do is  140/100 x (250) which is 1750/5 which is 350

So we know the answer is 350 and it is greater than 250.

FYI if you ever see a percent and the number is greater than 100% and it asks to find the percentage of that number, the answer is going to be greater than the number you need to find the percentage of. lol sorry if its confusing.

I hope this helped you, if it did, please leave a thank you (hopefully brainliest!) Have a great day!

Answer:

More than 250

Step-by-step explanation:

% means percent

pecent means for every hundred

If the indicated percentage is over the number 100 it means that it will be greater than the original quantity as 100% corresponds exactly to the original quantity, therefore, if this percentage is less than 100% then it will be less than the original quantity

140% = 140/100 = 1.4

In this case it will be multiplied by 1.4 to the original quantity and therefore the result will be greater than the original amount

250 * 1.4 = 350
