Question

A number is increased by 40% and then decreased by 25%.what is the net percentage increase/decrease in the number?​

Answer 1

Answer:

the number will increase by 15%

Answer 2

lets say 100 is increased by 40%

= 100+ (40/100)×100

= 140

Now 25% is decreased from 140

140- (25/100)× 140

= 140-35

= 105

So 100 is changed into 105

increased= 105-100= 5%
