Answer

To solve the problem of finding out how much `12%` of `24.2` is more than `10%` of `14.2`, we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Calculate `12%` of `24.2`
To find `12%` of `24.2`, we can use the formula:
\[ \text{Percentage} = \frac{\text{Percentage Rate}}{100} \times \text{Total} \]
So,
\[ 12\% \text{ of } 24.2 = \frac{12}{100} \times 24.2 \]
Calculating this gives:
\[ = 0.12 \times 24.2 = 2.904 \]

### Step 2: Calculate `10%` of `14.2`
Now, we calculate `10%` of `14.2` using the same formula:
\[ 10\% \text{ of } 14.2 = \frac{10}{100} \times 14.2 \]
Calculating this gives:
\[ = 0.10 \times 14.2 = 1.42 \]

### Step 3: Find the difference
Now, we need to find out how much `12%` of `24.2` is more than `10%` of `14.2`. This is done by subtracting the two results:
\[ \text{Difference} = 12\% \text{ of } 24.2 - 10\% \text{ of } 14.2 \]
Substituting the values we calculated:
\[ \text{Difference} = 2.904 - 1.42 = 1.484 \]

### Conclusion
Thus, `12%` of `24.2` is `1.484` more than `10%` of `14.2`.
