115% means the full amount of 600 and then another 15% as well.
Your answer should obviously be more than 600.
This puzzles many people because they think of a percentage as only being less than 100%
The quickest method as shown elsewhere as well is:
115100×600
=690
But it might be clearer what it means if we do 2 calculations.
100%×600=600
15%×600=90
(100%+15%)×600=600+90=690
It is worth noting that 115% can be considered as a improper fraction where the numerator is bigger than the denominator.
Multiplication by an improper fraction always increases the number.
600×115100=690 (which is an increase from 600)
