Question

What is the final amount if 731 is increased by 7% followed by a 4% decrease? Give your answer rounded to 2 DP.

Answer 1

Answer:

750.88 (rounded to 2 d.p.)

Step-by-step explanation:

100% --- 731

100% + 7% --- $\frac{100+7}{100}$ × 731 = 782.17

100% --- 782.17

100% - 4% --- $\frac{100-4}{100}$ × 782.17 = 750.88 (rounded to 2 d.p.)
