What multiplier would you use to find each of these percentage increases?

Question

1. 10%
2. 70%
3. 95%
4. 1%

Answer 1

To find the multiplier for each percentage increase, you can use the formula:

Multiplier = 1 + (Percentage/100)

1. For a 10% increase: Multiplier = 1 + (10/100) = 1.1
2. For a 70% increase: Multiplier = 1 + (70/100) = 1.7
3. For a 95% increase: Multiplier = 1 + (95/100) = 1.95
4. For a 1% increase: Multiplier = 1 + (1/100) = 1.01
