Question

a number is increased by 25% and then decreased by 20% what
percent of the original number is the resultant number

Answer 1

Let the no. be 100
Since,it is increased by 25%
therefore,new no.=100+25% of 100=125
then, no. is decreased by 20%
so,new no.=125-20% of 125=125-25=100
So,the no. got is equal to the no.
100=100
therefore this no. is not decreased nor incresed

Answer 2

Answer :- 100%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be 100

Add 25% to it :- 100+25% of 100 i.e., 100+25= 125

Subtract 20% of the resultant from it :- 125-20% of 125 i.e., 125-25= 100

Hence, the answer is 100%
