Answer:

149.5 same as the other answer.

Explanation:

To increase by 15% we need:

130 + 130*15/100

Another way to solve this, different from the other answer, is:

130/100 = 1.3

1.3*15=19.5

130+19.5=149.5

Answer:

£149.5

Explanation:

10% of £130 = £13.

5% of £130 = £6.5

15% = £13+6.5= £19.5

£130+£19.5= £149.5
