Math Problem Statement
Suppose the economy's production function is Y = AK^0.3.N^0.7 . If K = 2000, N = 100, and A = 1, then Y = 246. If K and N both rise by 20%, and A is unchanged, by how much does Y increase?

Formulas
Y = A * K^0.3 * N^0.7
K' = 1.2 * K
N' = 1.2 * N
Percentage Increase = ((Y' - Y) / Y) * 100
