Respuesta :

The new amount is 72.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given number is;

40

First, we will find 80% of given number.

80% of 40

[tex]\frac{80}{100}*40\\\\\frac{3200}{100}\\\\32[/tex]

Therefore,

80% of 40 is 32.

According to the statement,

40 is increased 80%, therefore, we will add both the amounts.

New amount = 40 +32

New amount = 72

The new amount is 72.
