$104 % = 312$ $104%=312$

Well to start off, with any given number we can say it is $100 %$ $100%$ .

$therefore$ $300=100%$

Therefore, we can find out that if we divide by $100$ , we can get $1%$

$300=100% -> 3=1%$

Therefore we can figure out $4% = 4 xx 1%$ , therefore we multiply the value of $1%$ by $4$

$4%=4 xx 1% -> 4xx3=12$

$therefore$ $4%=12$

But we want an INCREASE in $4%$ therefore we add this on.

$104%=300+12 -> 312$

$104%=312$
