<h3>Answer: Net Increase of 26%</h3>
===================================================
Explanation:
If it increases by 5%, then we use the multiplier 1.05
Think of it like saying 100% + 5% = 1 + 0.05 = 1.05
Similarly, an increase of 20% means we involve 1.20
Combine those multipliers to get: 1.05*1.20 = 1.26
This is a net increase of 26%
Interestingly, we get fairly close to 25% which is what many students might go for (since 5 + 20 = 25). This is a beginner's trap.
----------------
An example:
Let's say the temperature is 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit)
An increase of 5% means it moves to 1.05*20 = 21 degrees C
A 20% increase means we go to 1.20*21 = 25.2 degrees C
The shortcut would be to do a 26% increase to get 1.26*20 = 25.2 to help confirm we have the correct combined increase.
I'd start with setting up the equations. Calling x the number of students in most popular country 1, and y in country 2.
x + y = 44740
x - y = 5672
now solve for x1 and x2. You can subtract second from first:
0 + 2y = 39068
y = 19534
so
x = 5672 + 19534 = 25206
