The question states that Dolphin has &#8220;50% more clients than Turtle does.&#8221; The formulas provided use the number 120, so we can assume that Turtle has 120 clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Calculating a percentage increase involves two steps: finding the amount of the increase and adding it to the original number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, we need to determine what 50% of Turtle&#8217;s clients is. To do this, we convert the percentage to a decimal (50% = 0.50) and multiply it by Turtle&#8217;s client number:<br>0.50 \u00d7 120 = 60<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means Dolphin has 60 more clients than Turtle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, we add this increase to Turtle&#8217;s original number of clients to find Dolphin&#8217;s total:<br>120 + 60 = 180<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, Dolphin has 180 clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now let&#8217;s examine the formula&nbsp;<strong>120 \u00d7 1.50<\/strong>. This formula provides a direct shortcut to the same answer. Multiplying by 1.50 is the same as calculating 150% of the original number. This works because the &#8220;1&#8221; in 1.50 represents the original 100% (Turtle&#8217;s 120 clients), and the &#8220;.50&#8221; represents the additional 50% increase. The calculation is:<br>120 \u00d7 1.50 = 180<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This single step correctly determines the total number of clients Dolphin has.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other options are incorrect. The formula&nbsp;120 \/ 0.50&nbsp;is equivalent to 120 \u00d7 2, which calculates a 100% increase. The formula&nbsp;120 + (120 \u00d7 1.50)&nbsp;would add 150% of the original number back to itself, resulting in a much larger, incorrect total.<\/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-banner5-246.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-280252\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Correct Answer and Explanation is: The correct formula is&nbsp;120 \u00d7 1.50.
