Answer:
22.46
Step-by-step explanation:
'Percent (%)' means 'out of one hundred':
p% = p 'out of one hundred',
p% is read p 'percent',
p% = p/100 = p ÷ 100.
49.5% = 49.5/100 = 49.5 ÷ 100 = 0.495.
100% = 100/100 = 100 ÷ 100 = 1.
Increase the number by 49.5% of its value.
Percentage increase = 49.5% × 22.46
New value = 22.46 + Percentage increase
