Answer 1

Here's the required answer to your question

Answer 2

Answer:

6.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original number be x.

Given the number increased by 25% = x + 0.25x = 1.25x.

Given the number decreased by 25% = 1.25 - 0.25(1.25)  

                                                               = 0.9375.

% change = x - 0.9375/x * 100%

                = 0.0625 * 100%

                = 6.25.

The decrease % is 6.25.
