How do you solve the following problem?

42 customers increased by 50%

First you find half of 42, which is 21, then add 21 to 42, which is 63. I hope that helped!

First, determine what 50% of 42 is. 42 x 0.50 = 21 (Note: 0.50 is 50% in decimal form). Then, add 50% of 42 (Which is 21) to 42. 42 + 21 = 63 So, if 42 customers increased by 50%, there are now 63 customers. Hope that helps!!

To find the new number of customers after a 50% increase from 42, first calculate 50% of 42, which is 21. Then, add this increase to the original number: 42 + 21 = 63. Therefore, there are now 63 customers.
