Answer 1

first off let's check how much is 5% of hmmm say "x"

`\begin{array} \cline{1-1} \textit{\textit{\LARGE a}\% of \textit{\LARGE b}}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ \left( \cfrac{\textit{\LARGE a}}{100} \right)\cdot \textit{\LARGE b} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}~\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\textit{5\% of x}}{\left( \cfrac{5}{100} \right)x}\implies 0.05x`

so if we increase "x" by that much, that's just "x + 0.05x" = 1.05x. Now, let's find how much is 5% of that

`\stackrel{\textit{5\% of 1.05x}}{\left( \cfrac{5}{100} \right)1.05x}\implies (0.05)(1.05x)\implies 0.0525x \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{now let's add that, to 1.05x}}{1.05x~~ + ~~0.0525x}\implies 1.1025x`

so our "x" went up by 0.1025x, now let's conver that to a percent, 0.1025 * 100 = 10.25%.
