    A 10% increase means that you add 10% to the number concerned.

    For example, increasing $250 by 10% is given by:

    $250 + (10% x 250) = $250 + $25 = $275

    An easier way to do that is to note that the original number is a whole, that is 100%. Increase that by 10% to get 110%. The final number after the increase is thus:

    $250 x 110% = $275

    Now, you do this with the rest of the numbers.
