Here we will show you the formula used to calculate 4 percent more than 50 (4% more than 50), and then we will calculate the answer to 4 percent more than 50 using our formula. We will also illustrate what 4 percent more than 50 looks like.
The formula used to calculate 4 percent more than 50, 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 50 for OV in our formula, we get the answer to 4 percent more than 50, as solved here:
PM = ((4 ÷ 100) × 50) + 50
PM = (0.04 × 50) + 50
PM = 2 + 50
PM = 52
4% more than 50 = 52
