Question

What is the final amount if 2024 is increased by 17% followed by a 15% decrease?

Answer 1

Answer:

2012.87

Explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

Increased amount = 17% of 2024 = 0.17 * 2024 = 344.08

Amount after increment = 2024 + 344.08 = 2368.08

Decreased amount = 15% of 2368.08

= 0.15 * 2368.08

= 355.212 = 355.21

Final amount = 2368.08 - 355.21 = 2012.87

Answer 2

2012.87

Explanation:

Increased amount = 17% of 2024 = 0.17 * 2024 = 344.08

Amount after increment = 2024 + 344.08 = 2368.08

Decreased amount = 15% of 2368.08

= 0.15 * 2368.08

= 355.212 = 355.21

Final amount = 2368.08 - 355.21 = 2012.87
