The cost of supervising a company is made of the following: 40% office rental, 35% labor, 20% materials and 5% miscellaneous cost. If the office rental increased by 24%, labor increased by 15%, cost of materials increased by 20% and the miscellaneous costs are unchanged, find the percentage change in the cost of supervising the company. Show solutions.
