Try rephrasing it: to get you started... a 400% increase is 4x...

Answer 2

wait what? Is the final number 36)?

Answer 3

360?

Answer 4

thats exactly how it says it on the work sheet.

Answer 5

Sorry the questions is confusing... I really hate making assumptions because I can be wrong. Go ask again.

Answer 6

okay thank you though.

Answer 7

I think the question is phrased simply enough... it's basically saying "400% of a number is 360...what's the number?" so you get 4x = 360 .. solve for x

Answer 8

okay thanks ^.^

Answer 9

no problem!

Answer 10

No it can also mean that it was raised by 400 or maybe 360 we don't know. Seeing as the value of 400% percent is close to the number 360% making the assumption that 360 is the final number can be a mistake.
