Sagot :

The answer is 1.1772

Answer:

1.1772 is the single decal multiplier which should be used.

After 8% increase, the value is =((100+8) /100) ×X = 1.08X.

Again after 9% increase, the final value is =((100+9) /100) ×1.08X =(1.09) ×(1.08) X =1.1772X.

This single decimal multiplier which should be used is 1.1772
