1991 AHSME Problems/Problem 9

Problem

From time $t=0$ to time $t=1$ a population increased by $i\%$ , and from time $t=1$ to time $t=2$ the population increased by $j\%$ . Therefore, from time $t=0$ to time $t=2$ the population increased by

$\text{(A) (i+j)\%} \quad \text{(B) } ij\%\quad \text{(C) } (i+ij)\%\quad \text{(D) } \left(i+j+\frac{ij}{100}\right)\%\quad \text{(E) } \left(i+j+\frac{i+j}{100}\right)\%$
