Answer 2

Answer:

16%

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume the number be 100

incremented by 40% => 100+ (40/100)*100 = 100+40 = 140

then decrement of 40% of the resultant number

=> 140 - (40/100)*140 = 140 - 56 = 84

=> Decrement  ( from 100 to 84 )

=> if the original no. is 100, there is a decrement of (100-84) = 16

so, the decrement rate = 16%
