Using decimal multipliers, it is found that a multiplication by 1.0203 is equivalent to an increase of 2.03%.
Decimal multipliers:
- The equivalent multiplier for an increase of a% is given by: [tex]M = \frac{100 + a}{100}[/tex]
- For a decrease of b%, the multiplier is: [tex]M = \frac{100 - b}{100}[/tex].
In this problem, we want a increase of 2.03%, thus [tex]a = 2.03[/tex], and:
[tex]M = \frac{100 + a}{100} = \frac{100 + 2.03}{100} = \frac{102.03}{100} = 1.0203[/tex]
Thus, multiply by 1.0203.
