Question

What single percentage change is equivalent to a 9% increase followed by a 17% increase

Answer 1

• 27.53%

Explanation:

Initial number = 100

9% increase

• 100*1.09= 109

17% increase

• 109*1.17= 127.53

The difference with the initial number is:

• 127.53 - 100 = 27.53
• 27.53/100*100% = 27.53%

This is the single percentage change
