Let the number be 100
therefore, no. when increased by 20% becomes 100+20/100*100=120
and 120 when decreased by 20% becomes
120-20/100*120= 96
hence net decrease = (100-96)%=4%
therefore, no. when increased by 20% becomes 100+20/100*100=120
and 120 when decreased by 20% becomes
120-20/100*120= 96
hence net decrease = (100-96)%=4%
