Answer:
87.5 percent
Step-by-step explanation:
when you have to increase a number by 50 percent you are multiplying it by 1.5
later when you increase the number by 25 percent you multiply it by 1.25
you can multiply 1.5 by 1.25 to get your answer
1.5 * 1.25 is 1.875
so the percent increase is 87.5 percent
