<h3>Answer: Net Increase of 26%</h3>
===================================================
Explanation:
If it increases by 5%, then we use the multiplier 1.05
Think of it like saying 100% + 5% = 1 + 0.05 = 1.05
Similarly, an increase of 20% means we involve 1.20
Combine those multipliers to get: 1.05*1.20 = 1.26
This is a net increase of 26%
Interestingly, we get fairly close to 25% which is what many students might go for (since 5 + 20 = 25). This is a beginner's trap.
----------------
An example:
Let's say the temperature is 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit)
An increase of 5% means it moves to 1.05*20 = 21 degrees C
A 20% increase means we go to 1.20*21 = 25.2 degrees C
The shortcut would be to do a 26% increase to get 1.26*20 = 25.2 to help confirm we have the correct combined increase.
If the original price tag of the video game is $128, to get its discounted price at 15%, that means what Leiff paid for was (100-15) = 85% of the original price.
So, the price of the video game then becomes
(0.85 x 128) = $108.80.
Since Leiff has to pay an additional 5.3% of the new price, that's (100 + 5.3) = 105.3% of the new price which is
(1.053 x 108.8) = $114.57
Adding the shipping fee for the videogame,
114.57 + 4.75 = $119.32
Thus, the total price is <span>$119.32</span>
Line that never touch each other
Your answer for 15 is D or C. For 16 I’m estimating 125?
