#24# increased by #75%# is #42#.

If you mean what is #24 + 75%#, you have to first find #75% " of " 24.#

Since #75%= 3/4#, you just need to #3/4 xx 24. #

#3/4xx24=18#

So #75%# of #24 = 18#.

However, it is asking what you get when you increase i#24# by #75%,# so you must add the value #18# to the original #24#.

#18+24=42#

The answer is #42.#

#color(blue)(42)#

If you think of the 24 as being the whole thing, then this is 100%. When you increase it by #75%# you are really saying what is 175% of 24.

#175/100xx24=42#
