Answer 7

"Increase 8kg by 23%" means to start with and keep 8kg, calculate 23% of 8kg, and add the result to 8kg.

This might be written as (1 + 0.23)(8 kg) or (1.23) (8 kg).

Thanks for your opinion, emobunny. That's all it is. In exchange for confirmation that lily's answer is correct, I want to see how she got it, as proof of her understanding. If no such proof is forthcoming, fine, that's lily's choice, and I'm out.
