Question 1127610: The library at a certain university reported that journal prices had increased by 130% over a period of 10 years. The report concluded that this represented a price increase of 13% each year. If journal prices had indeed increased by 13% each year, what percentage increase would that give over 10 years? (Round your answer as a percentage to the nearest whole number.)
