Answer 2

10.25%

Explanation:

Let the original number be represented with x.

Increase by 5% = 5% of x = 5/100 x X = 0.05x

So, the next number = x + 0.05x = 1.05x

Increase again by 5% = 5% of 1.05x = 5/100

x1.05x = 0.05 x 1.05x = 0.0525

So, the current number = 1.05x + 0.0525x =1.1025x

`(1.1025x - x)/(x) = 0.1025 * 100 = 10.25\%`
