Practicing Success
The price of a scooter increases successively by 10%, 5% and 15%. What is the total percentage increase in price of scooter? |
$32\frac{33}{40}\%$ $34\frac{21}{40}\%$ $30\frac{11}{40}\%$ $36\frac{31}{40}\%$ |
$32\frac{33}{40}\%$ |
10% = \(\frac{1}{10}\) 5% = \(\frac{1}{20}\) 15% = \(\frac{3}{20}\) Let the price of the scooter = x then , = x × \(\frac{11}{10}\) × \(\frac{21}{20}\) × \(\frac{23}{20}\) = \(\frac{5313}{4000}\) Percentage increase = \(\frac{1313 × 100}{4000}\) = $32\frac{33}{40}\%$ |
