The formula used to calculate 15 percent more than 122, as well as other percent more than problems, can be seen below:
PM = ((P ÷ 100) × OV) + OV
PM (Percent More) is the answer we want, P (%) is the percent, and OV (Original Value) is the starting value. Therefore, when we substitute 15 for P and 122 for OV in our formula, we get the answer to 15 percent more than 122, as solved here:
PM = ((15 ÷ 100) × 122) + 122
PM = (0.15 × 122) + 122
PM = 18.3 + 122
PM = 140.3
15% more than 122 = 140.3
