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%

k0ka [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by decoding this :)

Next, lets do 20% less than 16;  x/16 = 80/100 (Equation)

After solving by cross multiplying & then simplifying (make sure both denominators are 100), you should get 12.8 as your final #! Hope this helped.
