Answer 1

Answer:

£282.39

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Year 1 = £275.23 a year

Year 2 = £275.23 a year + an increase of 2.6% of the original cost

Step 2

2.6% converted to a decimal number is 0.026

Find the increase = £275.23 * 0.026 = 7.15598

Step 3

7.15598 rounded to two decimal places is £7.16

Step 4

Add the increase to the original price

£275.23 + £7.16 = £282.39

Answer = £282.39
