Here we will show you the formula used to calculate 4 percent more than 15 (4% more than 15), and then we will calculate the answer to 4 percent more than 15 using our formula. We will also illustrate what 4 percent more than 15 looks like.
The formula used to calculate 4 percent more than 15, 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 4 for P and 15 for OV in our formula, we get the answer to 4 percent more than 15, as solved here:
PM = ((4 ÷ 100) × 15) + 15
PM = (0.04 × 15) + 15
PM = 0.6 + 15
PM = 15.6
4% more than 15 = 15.6
