A deposit is when you put money INTO your bank account.  so what do you think you need to do @nevermind_justschool

jdoe0001 · Answer

well.. if we take the original amount of $160 as the 100%
it went up to 224
so the difference is 224 - 160 = 64

so what percent is 64 of 160 then?
$\large \begin{array}{ccllll}
amount&\%
\\hline\
160&100\
64&x
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{160}{64}=\cfrac{100}{x} $
find "x"

Right, that's one way of doing it.

160*(1+x/100)=224
