Answer 2

Answer:

6.25% increase

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question

We have been given that

Price of the article is increased by 25% in a month and decreased 15% the next month.

We need to find the total change percent is

Let the Price of the article be 100{assume}

If then price is increased by 25% in a month,then

Price of the article will become $100\ +\ \frac{25}{100}\times 100$

Price of the article will become 100 + 25 = 125 Rs.

After one month Price of the article is decreased by 15%

Price of the article after one month =  $125\ -\ \frac{15}{100}\times 125$

Price of the article after one month = 125 - 18.75

Price of the article after one month  = 106.25 Rs.

Therefore Total change in percent = 6.25%
