In 1978, a kg of paper was sold at Rs25/-. If the paper
rate increases at 1.5% more than the inflation rate which
is 6.5% a year, then what wil be the cost of a kg of paper
after 2 years? give me the steps plz......

Answer Posted / 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
