Essentially, we need to find the value which is 1,300% greater than 1,500, which will be:
- \(1,500(1 + \frac{1,300}{100}) = \)
\(=1,500*14 = \)
\(=21,000\)
Answer: E.

The math involved in answering this question is relatively simple. At the same time, the question is a little tricky to answer correctly because we have to make sure we answer the question asked, which is that of how many names were "in the expanded database."
In other words, we have to make sure the answer choice we select is the total number of names in the database after the increase and not just the size of the increase.
The number of names increased by 1,300 percent. So, the total number of names is 1,500 + (13 × 1,500) = 14 × 1,500 = 21,000.
A. 1,950
B. 2,800
C. 16,300
D. 19,500
E. 21,000
(We could quickly see which answer is correct without completing the multiplication 14 × 1500 by noticing that only 21,000 could be 1,500 multiplied by an even number since 1500 × an even number must be a multiple of 3000.)
Correct answer: E
