Answer 1

Answer:

16.64%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of passengers be x in 2014

In 2005,a train carried 8%more passengers than in 2004

Population in 2005 = x+8\% x =x+\frac{8}{100}x = 1.08xx+8%x=x+

100

8

x=1.08x

In 2006,it carried 8%more passengers than 2005.

Population in 2006 = 1.08x+8\% (1.08x) =1.1664x1.08x+8%(1.08x)=1.1664x

Change in population from 2004 to 2006 = 1.1664x-x=0.1664x

The total percentage increase in the number of passenger from 2004 to 2006 = \frac{0.1664x}{x} \times 100=16.64\%

x

0.1664x

×100=16.64%

Hence The total percentage increase in the number of passenger from 2004 to 2006 is 16.64%
