Let number be x
So x is increased by 5%=x+0.05x=1.05x
Now 1.05 is decreased by 5%=1.05x-0.05(1.05x)=0.9975x
So decrease from original number x=x-0.9975x=0.0025x
So net decrease=(0.0025x/x)*100=0.25%
So x is increased by 5%=x+0.05x=1.05x
Now 1.05 is decreased by 5%=1.05x-0.05(1.05x)=0.9975x
So decrease from original number x=x-0.9975x=0.0025x
So net decrease=(0.0025x/x)*100=0.25%
