We can let a 10-person brigade's productivity be 100; thus, a 11-person brigade's productivity will be 100 x 1.1 = 110, and a 12-person brigade's productivity will be 110 x 1.1 = 121. Therefore, the ratio is 121/100 = 1.21.M7MBA wrote:If the productivity of a brigade grows by 10% when the number of the workers in the brigade is increased by one, then which of the following is closest to the ratio of the productivity of a 12-person brigade to that of a 10-person brigade?
