Answer:
Increasing a number by 5% and then by 20% is the same as increasing the original number by 26%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Take a number, x.
Now increase it by 5%.
1.05x
Now increase it by 20%.
1.2 * 1.05x = 1.26x
1.26x = 126% of x = 100% of x + 26% of x
100% of x is the same as x, so it is the same as the original x.
The increase is 26% of the original number.
Increasing a number by 5% and then by 20% is the same as increasing the original number by 26%.
