This is a crucial detail. It does not mean Dolphin has 50% of Turtle&#8217;s clients; it means Dolphin has all of Turtle\u2019s clients plus an additional 50%. We can think of Turtle&#8217;s client base as the starting point, which represents 100%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find the total number of clients for Dolphin, we need to calculate what 100% plus an additional 50% represents.<br>100% (Turtle\u2019s original amount) + 50% (the additional amount) = 150%<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, Dolphin Inc. has a number of clients equivalent to 150% of Turtle Inc.&#8217;s client base. To use this percentage in a mathematical formula, we must convert it into a decimal. We do this by dividing the percentage by 100.<br>150 \/ 100 = 1.50<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This value, 1.50, is the multiplier we use on Turtle&#8217;s original number of clients to find Dolphin&#8217;s total. Since Turtle Inc. has 120 clients, the formula becomes:<br>120 * 1.50 = 180<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, Dolphin Inc. has 180 clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An alternative way to formulate this is a two step process. First, calculate the &#8220;more&#8221; part by finding 50% of 120 (0.50 * 120 = 60). Second, add this result back to the original number (120 + 60 = 180). This can be written as a single formula: 120 + (0.50 * 120). Both formulas are mathematically equivalent and yield the correct answer, but using the 1.50 multiplier is a more direct and efficient method for calculating a percentage increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/learnexams-banner5-245.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-280246\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Correct Answer and Explanation is: The correct formula to determine the number of clients Dolphin Inc. has is:&nbsp;120 * 1.50 Here is a detailed explanation of how to arrive at this formula.
