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 / 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
