In 2021, there were 200 jets on the USS liberty. In 2022, there was a 10% increase in the number of jets. In 2023, there was a 20% in the number of jets. What is the total number of jets in 2023? What is the percentage increase in the number of jets compared to the original? Write in a complete sentence.
In 2022, the number of jets on the USS Liberty increased by 10%, resulting in a total of 220 jets (200 + 10% * 200 = 200 + 20 = 220).
In 2023, the number of jets on the USS Liberty increased by another 20%. To calculate the increase, we multiply the previous year's total (220) by 20% (0.20), and add it to the previous year's total.
So, the increase in 2023 is 0.20 * 220 = 44 jets.
The total number of jets in 2023 is the previous year's total (220) plus the increase (44), which equals 264 jets (220 + 44 = 264).
The percentage increase in the number of jets compared to the original number (200) is 32% (64/200 * 100 = 32%).
Therefore, in 2023, there are 264 jets on the USS Liberty, and there is a 32% increase compared to the original number of jets.
