Answer / chris
25.6 ish.
Depends wether it means 1.5% as a percentage of the paper
rate or as a percentage of the 6.5% inflation on the paper
rate. In the case of the latter, you should :
25 * 0.065 * 1.015 + 25 = x ( cost after one year ).
x * 0.065 * 1.015 + x = 29.4
In the case of the former the total increase rate is 1.5% +
6.5% = 8%
so
25 * 1.08 * 1.08 = 29.16

Answer / sabarish
Ans. 29.16
Total inflation = 6.5+1.5 for 1 year.
25 ( 1 + 8/100)^2 = 29.16

Answer / jitendra
rate increases at 1.5% more than the inflation rate which is
6.5%
This means paper rate increase is 1.5+6.5 = 8% per year
For the first year the increase is 8 % or (8/100)x25 = 2
So the new cost is 25+2 = 27
For the second year the increase is the same = (8/100)x27 = 2.16
So the cost = 27+2.16 = 29.16
