You would divide 42 by 2 to find what 50% of the total would be the add that number to 42 to get the answer.

When 42 customers are increased by 50%, the new amount of customers is 63. This is found by calculating 50% of 42, which is 21, and then adding that to the original 42 customers. Thus, 42 + 21 equals 63.
