Answer 1

Answer:

= 1 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution :-

Let the required number be 100.

Then, according to the question.

⇒ Firstly, the number is increased by 10 %

⇒ 100 + (100*10)/100

⇒ 100 + 10

= 110

Secondly, it is decreased by 10 % 

⇒ 110 - (110*10)/100

⇒ 110 - 11

⇒ 99

Net increase or decrease percentage

= (Original Number - New Number)*100/100

⇒ (100 - 99)*100/100

⇒ (1*100)/100

⇒ 100/100

= 1 %

So, net decrease is 1 %.
