The formula used to calculate 5 percent more than 820, 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 5 for P and 820 for OV in our formula, we get the answer to 5 percent more than 820, as solved here:
PM = ((5 ÷ 100) × 820) + 820
PM = (0.05 × 820) + 820
PM = 41 + 820
PM = 861
5% more than 820 = 861
