I think it's 4B.

作者: andrewcan 时间: 2002-9-18 09:12

No, A should be 3B.[em07]

How about A+B=300%B ,?

到底那个答案正确，我都被弄糊涂了，斑竹说句话把

B increases by 300 percent: B->4B.
A equals to new B: A=4B.

B increases to 300 percent: B->3B.
A equals to new B: A=3B.

I change to A=3B

cook:
increase by不是表示“升高了多少”的意思吗？

作者: cook 时间: 2002-9-19 12:29

But the question: A will increase B by 300 percent.==> A+B=4B same as A=3B
A

You are so funny! We love you , 版主

i think it is a confused question, A will increase B, we usually understand it as B will be added into A?
according to your understanding, it should be A-B=B*3
i do think there is mistake in the understanding of the question itself
