Question

Raman's salary was decreased by 50% and subsequently increased by 50%. How much percent (%) does he lose?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the initial salary

Let x1 be the reduced salary

Let x2 be the incremented salary

x1=1/2*(x)

x2=x1+1/2*(x1)

=1/2x+1/2*(1/2x)

=1/2x+1/4x

=3/4x

x2=0.75*x

loss = x-x2

= x-0.75x

=0.25x

Loss in salary = 25% of initial salary x
