Calculating Successive Percentage Increase
To find the overall percentage increase after successive increments, we can track the changes step-by-step. Let's assume the original number is 100 for easier calculation.
Step 1: Calculate the value after the first increase (10%)
- Original Number: \(100\)
- Increase amount: \(10\%\) of \(100 = \frac{10}{100} \times 100 = 10\)
- Value after first increase: \(100 + 10 = 110\)
Step 2: Calculate the value after the second increase (20%)
- Number before second increase: \(110\)
- Increase amount: \(20\%\) of \(110 = \frac{20}{100} \times 110 = 22\)
- Value after second increase: \(110 + 22 = 132\)
Step 3: Calculate the value after the third increase (15%)
- Number before third increase: \(132\)
- Increase amount: \(15\%\) of \(132 = \frac{15}{100} \times 132 = 19.8\)
- Final Value: \(132 + 19.8 = 151.8\)
Step 4: Calculate the overall percentage increase
- Original Number: \(100\)
- Final Value: \(151.8\)
- Total Increase: \(151.8 - 100 = 51.8\)
- Overall Percentage Increase: \(\frac{\text{Total Increase}}{\text{Original Number}} \times 100 = \frac{51.8}{100} \times 100 = 51.8\%\)
Therefore, the overall percentage increase is 51.8%.
