Answer:

[tex]1,545.67[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

if 1,584 is decreased by 18%

we know that

[tex]100\%-18\%=82\%=82/100=0.82[/tex]

Multiply the number by 0.82

[tex]1,584(0.82)=1,298.88[/tex]

step 2

The number 1,298.88 is increased by a 19%

we know that

[tex]100\%+19\%=119\%=119/100=1.19[/tex]

Multiply the number by 1.19

[tex]1,298.88(1.19)=1,545.67[/tex]
