To increase an amount by 35 percent, what single multiplier would you use?

I am thinking the answer u want is 1.35but there is another way to do this

lets say u have 50...and u want to increase it by 35...

50(1.35) = 67.50

another way
50 + 0.35(50) = 50 + 17.5 = 67.5

Think of it as five or above give it a shove. change the 5 or above to the right to a zero and add one to the number on the left.
