Assume the number to be 100 for instance,
10% of 100 increased = 100 + ( 10/100*100 )
= 100 + 10 = 110
The resulting number decreased by its 10% = 110- (10/100*110)
= 110-11 = 99
Now, net decrease =100-99 = 1
Decrease percent = (Decrease / Original number * 100) %
= ( 1 / 100 *100 )%
= 1%.
10% of 100 increased = 100 + ( 10/100*100 )
= 100 + 10 = 110
The resulting number decreased by its 10% = 110- (10/100*110)
= 110-11 = 99
Now, net decrease =100-99 = 1
Decrease percent = (Decrease / Original number * 100) %
= ( 1 / 100 *100 )%
= 1%.
