Answer:
If the price of the T-shirt was $20, and we first increased it by 20%, that means we add whatever 20% of 20 is, which is (1/5)(20) = $4… so then the new price is $24.
But since we want to decrease it afterwards, since it isn’t selling well, we do 40% of 24 and subtract that value from $24. So…
40% of $24 is (2/5)(24) = 48/5 = $9.6…
so $24 - $9.6 = $14.4
The new price of the T-shirt would be $14.4
