I'm doing some practice questions, theyre all true or false. yall will probably be getting more from me seeing as how they are all true or false and that makes it harder for me. 

the question is true or false:

If the MPC is .98 and GOVT spending increases by $10 AD will increase by $450.

Idk how to solve for this with so little information. my equation I would have used for this is: deltaY*= K x deltaG (delta meaning change, dont have that on my computer keyboard) 

to solve for K= 1/ (1-MPC) 

I plugged in 10= 50 x deltaG and got 20. that cant be right. was i supposed to put 450 in place of deltaY*?
