Answer:

44%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

We are given that A number is increased consecutively two times by 20% each

Number after first increase = x+20\% \times x

                                              = 1.2x

Number after second increase = 1.2x+20\% \times 1.2x

                                                  = 1.44x

Difference in original and final number = 1.44x-x=0.44x

So,  the original number is actually increased by \frac{0.44x}{x} \times 100=44\%

Hence the original number is actually increased by 44%
