Answer: £ 16,363.9

Explanation:

16,870 - Percentage decrease =

16,870 - (3% × 16,870) =

16,870 - 3% × 16,870 =

(1 - 3%) × 16,870 =

(100% - 3%) × 16,870 =

97% × 16,870 =

97 ÷ 100 × 16,870 =

97 × 16,870 ÷ 100 =

1,636,390 ÷ 100 =

16,363.9

Thanks

Hope this helps :)

Try this:
1. if to increase by 3.5%, then 16470.45 is 100% and new number is 103.5%; it means 1.035 times;
2. according to the previous issue result is 16470.45*1.035=17046.91575.
answer: 17046.91575
