Answer:
10.25%
Step-by-step 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
[tex] \frac{1.1025x - x}{x} = 0.1025 \times 100 = 10.25\%[/tex]
