What single decimal multiplier would you use to increase by 2% followed by a 1% increase?

Suppose that you have an initial quantity A.

If you have an increase of X%, the new quantity (NQ) is written as:

NQ = A + A*(X%/100%) = A*(1 + X%/100%).

Now, if we have an increase of 2% then:

NQ = A*(1 + 2%/100%) = A*(1 + 0.02)

And no we have another increase of 1%, then:

NQ = (A*(1 + 0.02))*(1 + 1%/100%) = A*(1 + 0.02)*(1 + 0.01) = A*1.0302

The single decimal multiplier that you can use to increase by 2% followed by a 1% increase is 1.0302

i dont get the question

step-by-step explanation:

hi there!

first we need to find out how much they are adding to each number to make the next number.

ex: 4 + 4 = 8, 8 + 8 = 16, and so on.

so continuing with 32,

32 + 32 = 64

64 + 64 = 128

128 + 128 = 256

256 + 256 = 512

4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512

the 8th term of the sequence will be 512

hope this ! ~
