Destinee Terrell · Answer 1

The first error consists in the multiplication of f (x) = 100 * (1.25), the value she mentions is incorrect since it is 125.

It would be a 125% increase really.

In order for LaTanya's phrase to have no error she had to mention that it was a 25% increase over the original amount, in this way, the phrase would make sense and be valid.
