Johan Whitney · Answer 1

480 this year and 10% more next year. 10% of 480 is 48 so 480 + 48=528 to stay next year

Xander Payne · Answer 2

(480 - 400) / 400 = 80 / 400 =.2 * 100 = 20%.

480 +.10 * 480 = 480 + 48 = 528

(528 - 480) / 480 =.1 * 100 = 10%

(x - 480) / 480 =.10

x/480 - 480/480 =.10

x/480 - 1 =.10

x/480 = 1.10

x = 1.10 * 480

= 528
