document.write( "Let T be the initial temperature.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then after first increase the temperature becomes  T*(1+0.05) = 1.05T.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "After the second increase, the temperature becomes 1.05T*(1+0.2)T = 1.05*1.2T = 1.26T.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The final increase is 26%, comparing to initial temperature.\r\n" );
