Question

What do I plug into a calculator to find 431 increased by 16%?

a
431 x 0.17
b
431 x 1.16
c
431 x .16
d
431 x 16

Answer 1

D is the answer I took the test

Answer 2

The answer is B

This is the answer because you are multiplying 431 by 1 (or 100%) to find your total without the 16% added, then you are figuring out the last 16% added onto figure out your total value.
