Understand and Determine: Understand the problem and determine what is being asked.We need to calculate the result of increasing the number 80 by 10%. To do this, we will calculate 10% of 80 and then add this value to 80.
Calculate 10% of 80: Calculate 10% of 80.To find 10% of a number, we can multiply the number by 0.10 (which is the decimal equivalent of 10%).So, 10% of 80 is 80×0.10.
Perform Calculation: Perform the calculation from Step 2.80×0.10=8So, 10% of 80 is 8.
Add to Original Number: Add the 10% calculated to the original number.Now we add the 10% (which is 8) to the original number (which is 80).80+8=88
