Converting percent to real number.
just divide the percent to 100

so 175 percent is equal to 1.75
to get how it increase.. you just need to multiply
150*1.75
The Answer is 262.5

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The starting number is 150. The increment is 1.75*150 = 262.5. If 150 is increased by 175 percent, the resulting number will be the starting number + the increment = 150 + 262.5 = 412.5. ANSWER
