Price of a book increases 15% successively (2times) what is the new price of the book more compared to that of the old price

Dear Student

Suppose the initial price is 100

after first increment price will be 100+15=115

2nd increment will be calculated on 115

15% of 115 will be=.15x115=17.25

new price=115+17.25=132.25

total increment=32.35

Increment %=32.25/100 = 32.25%

All the best.
