Question:

Which of the following multipliers will cause a number to be increased by 29.7%?

Options:

1.297

12.97

129.7

1297

Correct Answer:

1.297

Explanation:

Let the number is z.

Increased number = (z x 100%)+ (z x 29.7%)

= z x 129.7%

= z x $\frac{129.7}{100}$

= z x $\frac{1297}{1000}$

= z x 1.297

Hence, the correct answer is 1.297
