Q. Daniela has a three-season acting contract for a new TV show. Her pay for Season 11 is pp dollars. Then, her pay will increase by 5%5\% from Season 11 to Season 22 and by 10%10\% from Season 22 to Season 33. Which of the following represents Daniela's Season 33 pay in terms of pp?\newline Choose 11 answer:\newline (A) 1.15p1.15p\newline (B) p1.15\frac{p}{1.15}\newline (C) (1.05)(1.1)p(1.05)(1.1)p\newline (D) p(1.05)(1.1)\frac{p}{(1.05)(1.1)}
  1. Calculate Season 22 Pay: Daniela's pay for Season 11 is pp dollars. To find her pay for Season 22, we need to increase pp by 55 percent. To calculate a 55 percent increase, we multiply pp by 1.051.05 (since 55 percent is 0.050.05 and adding this to 11 gives us the total amount after the increase).\newlineSeason 22 pay = p×1.05p \times 1.05
  2. Calculate Season 33 Pay: Next, we need to calculate the pay for Season 33, which is a 10%10\% increase from Season 22. To find a 10%10\% increase, we multiply the Season 22 pay by 1.101.10 (since 10%10\% is 0.100.10 and adding this to 11 gives us the total amount after the increase).\newlineSeason 33 pay =Season 2 pay×1.10= \text{Season 2 pay} \times 1.10
  3. Substitute and Simplify: Substitute the expression for Season 22 pay into the equation for Season 33 pay.\newlineSeason 33 pay = (p×1.05)×1.10(p \times 1.05) \times 1.10
  4. Find Total Multiplier: Now, we multiply the two factors to find the total multiplier for pp to get the Season 33 pay.\newlineSeason 33 pay = p×(1.05×1.10)p \times (1.05 \times 1.10)
  5. Perform Final Multiplication: Perform the multiplication of the two factors.\newlineSeason 33 pay = p×1.155p \times 1.155
