Step-by-step explanation:
Let k represent Kim's age. Then Jack's age is k-5 and the total of their ages is ...
k + (k -5) = 21
2k = 26 . . . . . . . add 5, collect terms
k = 13 . . . . . . . . . divide by 2; Kim's age
k -5 = 8 . . . . . . . Jack's age
Kim is 13; Jack is 8.
Since the basis is from year 1 to year 2, calculate first for the difference of their percentages. That would be:
Difference = year 2 - year 1
Difference = 2.32% - 1.1% = 1.22%
We apply this same value of percentage increase from year 2 to year. Thus, the percentage for year 3 is:
% Year 3 = % Year 2 + percentage increase
% Year 3 = 2.32% + 1.22%
% Year 3 = 3.54%
