25% of something is 1/4 of something or .25 of something
In this case, we are looking to find the length of 8 meters increased by 25%.
First we need to find 25% of 8, which by using a calculator, you can see that it is 2 (meters).
Secondly, since we are adding 25% of 8 meters, which is (2 meters) to 8 meters, (which is what is stated in the problem) we get 10 meters!
Hope this helps!
