Question 1190788
<br>
(1) increase of 3.7% --> growth factor of 1+.037 = 1.037
(2) decrease of 1.7% --> "growth" factor of 1-.017 = 0.983
(3) increase of 0.8% --> growth factor of 1+.008 = 1.008<br>
Overall growth factor:<br>
{{{1.037*0.983*1.008}}} = 1.0275 to 4 decimal places<br>
The percentage change over the three months is 1.0275-1 = .0275 = 2.75%.<br>
