Answer 11

You were to find 125% of 8128. As before, I suggest you convert "125%" into the mixed fraction 1.25 and then multiply 8128 by 1.25.

Your "100%=10160" is, unfortunately, incorrect, both in quantity and in terms of math.

The following would be correct;
100% of 8128 is simply 8128, obtained by multiplying 8128 by 1.
25% of 8128 is 2032, obtained by multiplying 8128 by 0.25.
So 125% of 8128 is obtained by adding these two results together, or by multiplying 8128 by 1.25.

That comes out to 10160.

Now, find 0.8% of 10160.
