Answer 1

Answer:

Man will face the loss of 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

for example

let the original wages be 100

then wages were decreased by 50%

that is

100 - 50%of 100

100 - 50*100 /100

100-50=50

Now the wages are 50

then the wages are again increased by 50%

that is

50 (current wages) + 50% of 50(current wages)

50 + 50*50 / 100

50 + 2500/100

50 + 25

75

the new current wages are 75

comparing the original wages by current wages

loss = original wages minus current wages

loss = 100-75

=25

percentage of loss= 25 * 100 / 100

= 25%
