whats 250+3% 15 times

Answer 1

To solve \( 250 + 3\% \) fifteen times, we'll break it down step by step.

First, calculate \( 3\% \) of 250:
\[ 3\% \text{ of } 250 = \frac{3}{100} \times 250 = 7.5 \]

Next, add \( 3\% \) of 250 (which is 7.5) to 250:
\[ 250 + 7.5 = 257.5 \]

Since you need to perform this operation fifteen times, you can see this pattern is essentially repeated addition of 7.5 to the initial number each time.

To perform this calculation 15 times:
\[ 250 + 15 \times 7.5 = 250 + 112.5 = 362.5 \]

So, \( 250 + 3\% \) 15 times is 362.5.
