Answer» 10.5% INCREASE Step-by-step explanation:Let the ORIGINAL PRICE of petrol be ₹100.Increase in price = 30% = 30/100 × 100 = ₹30Price after increasing = ₹100 + ₹30 = ₹130Decrease in price = 15% = 15/100 × 130 = ₹19.50Price after decreasing = ₹130 - ₹19.50 = ₹110.50Net Increase in price = ₹110.50 - ₹100 = ₹10.50Percentage increase = 10.50/100 × 100 = 10.5% |
