Question

How did the temperature change? First, it increased by 5 percent and then by 20 percent.

Answer 1

Answer: 26%

Explanation:

There was no given number, so I chose 100.

It was increased by 5%, so now our number is 105.

It is increased by 20% now.

20% of 105 is 21.

Now I add 21 to 105 and get 126.

126-100= 26,

so it increased by 26%
