Answer 2

The result is 1.2x.

Given - Increase and decrease percentage

Find - Result

Solution - Firstly representing the increase and decrease percentage in equation form. Further solving the equation, to find the resultant value.

So, forming the equation -

Result = x + 50%x - 30%x

Representing the fractions in decimal form for further solving

Result = x + 0.5x - 0.3x

Performing subtraction

Result = x + 0.2x

Performing addition

Result = 1.2x

Thus, the resultant value will be 1.2 times the x.
