Question

how do u get the area of 125,788 ft to be 10% and 20% larger?

Answer 1

multiply by
\[1.1\] and
\[1.2\] respectively. is this the entire problem?

Answer 2

can i ask why its 1.1 and 1.2 but not just 0.1 and 0.2?

Answer 3

if you multiply by .1 or .2 you will find 10% or 20%, but you want to INCREASE it by 10%

Answer 4

so if you like, you could find 10% and then add it on, or else you can just multiply by 1.1
here we can try it

Answer 5

ohhhhh! i feel quite stupid at the moment.......but thank u! so its 138,366.8 and 150,945.6?

Answer 6

\[125,788(1.1)= 138366.8\]
or
\[125,788+.1\times 125,788=125,788+12,578.8=138366.8\]
