38% increase of 750
If 750 is the initial amount, 750 = 100%
If 100% is converted to a decimal, it would equal 1.00
You are looking for a 38% increase, which would equal + 0.38
To find the answer multiply 750 by (1.00 + 0.38)
The same steps apply for the second problem, only the numbers need to be changed.

40 % increase of 420 means = 420 + 40% of 420
= 420 + (40/100) * 420
= 420 + 168
= 588
Similarly 38 % increase of 750 means = 750 + 38% of 750
= 750 + (38/100) * 750
= 750 + 285
= 1035
