Please..​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the original number

Increasing a number by 20% is (x+0.2x)

Again, increasing the result by 15% we have

(x+0.2x) + 0.15(x+0.2x)

Now plug in some value for x and find the net percentage increased.

Answer 2

The net percentage increase in the number is 44%.
