Question

Last year 40 people adopted a manatee through Fia's Foundation. This year 15% more people adopted a manatee. How many people adopted a manatee this year ?

Answer 1

The answer is 46 people because you have to multiply 40X.15 to get 6. Then you add 40+6=46 

Answer 2

that would be 40 + 40*0.15 =  46 people
