Q
Q: If a number is increased by 20% and then decreased by 20%, what is the net change? (2022)
Solution:
Net change = (1.2x * 0.8) - x = 0.96x, which is a decrease of 4%.
Steps: 6
Show Steps
Step 1: Start with a number, let's call it x.
Step 2: Increase the number x by 20%. To do this, multiply x by 1.2. This gives you 1.2x.
Step 3: Now, take the result from Step 2 (which is 1.2x) and decrease it by 20%. To do this, multiply 1.2x by 0.8. This gives you 0.96x.
Step 4: Compare the final result (0.96x) to the original number (x).
Step 5: To find the net change, subtract the original number x from the final result 0.96x. This gives you 0.96x - x = -0.04x.
Step 6: The result -0.04x means there is a decrease of 4% from the original number.
