Answer 1

Answer:

56%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the original price.

New price = x *1.2*1.3 = 1.56x

Increase in price = 56%

Answer 2

Answer:

The price of the TV increased by 56%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the initial price of the TV.

Before the budget the price increased by 30%. Then the price becomes

$x \times \frac{130}{100} = 1.3 x$

After the budget it further increases by 20%. Then the price becomes $1.3 x \times \frac{120}{100}$  = $1.3 x \times 1.2$ = $1.56 x$

The total increase in the price = 1.56x - x = 0.56 x

It is 56% of the initial price.

Thus we can conclude that the price increased by 56%.
