QUERY: uvelichit' na...

[Paul B. Gallagher]

To the native Russian speakers:

If we are told that a value of 15 cm "увеличивается на 50 см," is the
resulting value 50 or 65 cm?

In other words, do I translate this as "increase to/by 50 cm"?

Thanks in advance for confirming my carefully unspoken suspicions.
