Let the original profits be $x. 5% increase in profits will give us:
105/100×x=$1.05x
3% reduction in new profits ill give us the latest amount to be:
97/100×1.05x
=$1.0185x
comparing our new profits to our original amount of $x we shall have new percentage increase to be:
(1.0185x-x)/x×100
=1.85% 
Thus our final increase  1.85%

Alekssandra [29.7K]
After 1.4 seconds, t = 1.4.
h(t) = 150 - 9(1.4)
Multiply 9 by 1.4 to get 12.6. 
h(t) = 150 - 12.6 
Subtract 12.6 from 150 to get 137.4. 
h(t) = 137.4.
The height of the ball would be 137.4 after 1.4 seconds. 
Hope this helps!
