When you say 4% of 57,000 that means multiply 57000 by 4 divided by 100 (per cent).
\n" ); document.write( " $\"57000%2A4%2F100=570x4=2280\"$
\n" ); document.write( "2,280 is 4% of 57,000.
\n" ); document.write( "If you say what is 57,000 increased by 4%, it would be 57,000 plus 4% of 57,000.
\n" ); document.write( "57000+2280=59280
\n" ); document.write( "So a 4% increase of 57,000 would give you 59,280.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
