Inflation rate increases 17 6
A math problem!
Let's break it down:
"Inflation rate increases 17 6"
This means the inflation rate has increased by 17.6%.
To calculate the new inflation rate, we need to know the original inflation rate. Let's assume the original inflation rate is x%.
The new inflation rate would be:
x% + 17.6% = (x + 17.6)%
For example, if the original inflation rate was 2%, the new inflation rate would be:
2% + 17.6% = 19.6%
So, the inflation rate has increased by 17.6% to 19.6%.
