Type of calculation: Calculating the value after a percentage increase.
Calculator usage:
Step 1: Calculate the bill increase amount. Use the Basic Percentage CALCULATOR ("What is X% of Y?"). Enter the percentage increase as X (10) and the previous bill as Y (200). The calculator will calculate 10% of 200.
Step 2: Add the increase amount calculated in Step 1 to the previous bill.
Explanation using a formula:
We are looking for the new bill amount after a 10% increase from $200.
Amount of increase = 10% of $200
Amount of increase = (10 / 100) × $200 = 0.1 × $200 = $20
New bill = Previous bill + Amount of increase = $200 + $20 = $220
