Increase 99 in the ratio \( 12: 11 \)

To increase 99 in the ratio \( 12: 11 \), first, we need to find out how much of an increase is represented by that ratio. The sum of the parts of the ratio \( 12 + 11 = 23 \). Next, we take the difference between the parts of the ratio, which is \( 12 - 11 = 1 \). Now, we can calculate the increase: 1. Calculate the increase: \[ \text{Increase} = 99 \times \frac{1}{23} \approx 4.3043 \] 2. So, the new total is \[ 99 + 4.3043 \approx 103.3043 \] To express it more simply, increasing 99 in the ratio \( 12: 11 \) leads to a new value of roughly 103.30. You could say that if it were a race, 99 just got a little boost to hit 103.30 while still keeping pace in that ratio!
