The formula used to calculate 15 percent more than 232, 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 232 for OV in our formula, we get the answer to 15 percent more than 232, as solved here:
PM = ((15 ÷ 100) × 232) + 232
PM = (0.15 × 232) + 232
PM = 34.8 + 232
PM = 266.8
15% more than 232 = 266.8
