Increase £130 by 15%

Answer:
£149.5
Step-by-step explanation:
10% of £130 = £13.
5% of £130 = £6.5
15% = £13+6.5= £19.5
£130+£19.5= £149.5
Answer:
149.5 same as the other answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
To increase by 15% we need:
130 + 130*15/100
Another way to solve this, different from the other answer, is:
130/100 = 1.3
1.3*15=19.5
130+19.5=149.5
