Over a year, the number of rabbits in a field increases by 25% and then by a further 30%. Originally there were 200 rabbits in the field how many were there at the end?

Originally the number of rabbits was 200. We therefore need to find 25% of 200 and then increase the value of 200 by the 25%, we will then know how many rabbits there are after the 25% increase. 25/100 x 200 = 50 200+50 = 250 rabbits We now need to repeat the same finding 30%, but this time from the 250 rabbits we just calculated, since it increased by a further 30% after the initial 25% increase. Finally we will add the 30% calculated to the 250 rabbits to get the final number of rabbits after on year. 30/100 x 250 = 75 250 + 75 = 325 rabbits
