New diet coke bottles give you 50% more Diet Coke. If the original bottle is 2 Liters, what would be the size of the new bottle?

3 Liters

Let’s say the useful life of an iPhone in 5 years. With better design and engineering, we can increase the useful life by 20%. How long would the new useful life be?

6 years
