200 increased by 10% is 20. (using 10% is often an easy way to figure out questions like this).
So, increasing 200 by 20% would be twice as much, increasing it by 40 ... so your answer is:
240.

Find the amount when the base and percent are known.
convert 20% to decimal
remove the % symbol. divide 20 by 100
20 / 100 = 0.2
Multiply 200 times the decimal
200 x 0.2 = 40
The amount is 40
The amount of increase is $ 40

Add 200 Plus 40
200 + 40 = 240

Method 2

200 x 1.2 = 240
