Question 106392
First let' s calculate 120% of 80

120% of 80={{{1.20*80}}}
120% of 80={{{(1+0.20)*80}}}
120% of 80={{{(1+1/5)*80}}}
120% of 80={{{(5/5+1/5)*80}}}
120% of 80={{{((5+1)/(5))*80}}}
120% of 80={{{(6/5)*80}}}
120% of 80={{{6*80/5}}}
120% of 80={{{480/5}}}
120% of 80={{{96}}}

Now let's add this to 80. thus,

{{{80+96=176}}}


Therefore, if 80 is increased by 120 percent, the resulting number is 176!
