original number?
E. 44%
F. 40%
G. 20%
H. 10%

Answer 1

44%

Explanation:

Suppose the original number is 100.

It is increased by 20 %, so the result will be 120.

The resulting number is again increased by 20%, which is increased by 120 *20/100, which is increased by 24. The final result will be 120+24 that is 144.

The final result is increased by 44 compared to the original number 100.

So, increase by 44%.
