Answer 1

Answer:

489.5 Rupees

Step-by-step explanation:

Given = 500 rupees

first we should find 15% of given,

15% of 500 = X 500

= 75 rupees

now,

Decrease of 15% = 500 - 75

= 425 Rupees

finally the result 15% increase,

so 15% of 425 = X 425

= 64.5 Rupees

Result is 15% increase = 425 + 64.5

= 489.5'
