Question

IF 2 OF 24 IS INCREASED BY 4 TENS WHAT IS THE ANSWER?

Answer 1

2 of 24 means 2 percentage of 24. i.e 2×24⁄100 =0.48

This is increased by 4 tens(40).

So add this 40 to 0.48

0.48+40=40.48.

so the answer is 40.48

Answer 2

The decimal number system is a positional number system. The value of each digit depends on the position where it is found.

24 is 2 tens and 4 ones.

We could also say that is 4 ones and 2 tens.

To increase this number by 4 tens (but not any ones) means that there will be 2+4=6 in the tens position.

So, the answer is 64. The 4 in the ones position is not changed.

Answer 3

Do you mean 2 times 24? If so, that's 48. "4 tens" presumably means 40.

So, 48 + 40 = 88
