$24$ increased by $75%$ is $42$ .

If you mean what is $24 + 75%$ , you have to first find $75% " of " 24.$

Since $75%= 3/4$ , you just need to $3/4 xx 24.$

$3/4xx24=18$

So $75%$ of $24 = 18$ .

However, it is asking what you get when you increase i $24$ by $75%,$ so you must add the value $18$ to the original $24$ .

$18+24=42$

The answer is $42.$

$color(blue)(42)$

If you think of the 24 as being the whole thing, then this is 100%. When you increase it by $75%$ you are really saying what is 175% of 24.

$175/100xx24=42$
