A car dealership has 180 cars on their lot. If they increase their inventory be 25%, how many cars will be on the lot?
25/100 * 180
= 5 * 9 = 45
Therefore:
180 + 45 = 225 cars
Answer:
There will be 225 cars on the lot.

Second Method:
25% is a quarter of 100%
Find a quarter of 180 cars
180/4 = 45 cars
180 + 45 = 225 cars
