Answer:
The single decimal multiplier is 1.26.
Step-by-step explanation:
Multipliers:
For a decrease of a%, we multiply by: [tex]\frac{100-a}{100}[/tex]
For a increase of a%, we multiply by: [tex]\frac{100+a}{100}[/tex]
For consecutive changes, we multiply the multipliers.
Increase of 5%
Multiply by [tex]\frac{100+5}{100} = \frac{105}{100} = 1.05[/tex]
Increase of 20%
Multiply by [tex]\frac{100+20}{100} = \frac{120}{100} = 1.2[/tex]
Consecutive:
1.05*1.2 = 1.26
The single decimal multiplier is 1.26.
