its easy just put it into fractions.. this way always works for me... you know that she grew 50 bushels last year and you are trying to find out what she grew this year (x)..Yu also know that it increased 8% so you would put that over a hundered.. the 100 being the total.. any ways so you put the (x) over 50 times 8 over 100 and yu cross multiply.. getting 100x=400 yu need to get rid of the x so yu divide 400 by 100 getting 4.. yu just add 4 to 50 and yu get 54 being oyur answer!
EXAMPLE: x/50=8/100
Cross multiply
100x=400
100
x=4 now just add 50+4 and yu get 54!
Or, just multiply her previous amount by 1.08, which is a lot faster.
