Which of the following multipliers will cause a number to be increased by 29.7%?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
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
