Answer:

16.64%

Hope this helps. Have a good day!

Step-by-step explanation:

An increase of 8% corresponds to multiplying by 1.08.

Increasing by 8% two times in a row is then multiplying by

1.08 × 1.08 = 1.1664

and this is an increase of 16.64%

sanskritisonawane: It's only 16 percent

Anonymous: No, read the solution. It's 16.64%. Think about it with some actual values. Start with 100. Then 8% of this is 8, so increasing by 8% results in 108. Now 8% of this is 8.64, so increasing by 8% this time results in 108 + 8.64 = 116.64. In total, that was a 16.64% increase!
