The value of z is 1.13 times 100 . The value of z is what percent greater than 100 ?

Question

Accepted Answer

Choice B is correct. It&rsquo;s given that the value of z is 1.13 times 100 . This can be written as z = 1.13 100 , which is equivalent to z = 1 + 0.13 ( 100 ) , or z = 1 + 13 100 100 . It follows that the value of z is 100 % of 100 plus 13 % of 100 . Therefore, the value of z is 13 % greater than 100 . Choice A is incorrect. This gives a value of z that is 1.113 , not 1.13 , times 100 . Choice C is incorrect. This gives a value of z that is 2.30 , not 1.13 , times 100 . Choice D is incorrect. This gives a value of z that is 3.13 , not 1.13 , times 100 .
