Answer» ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ✔️ Question:-The original PRICE of a television is reduced by 25%. This NEW price is then increased by 25%. Calculate the price of the television now as a percentage of the original price. ✔️ Answer:-The percentage by which the new price must be decreased to obtain the original price is 25%. Step-by-step explanation:Let the price of the article = $100 It is given that, the price of the article is increased by 25%. That is, the new price is increased by 25% of $100 = $25 Thus, the new price = $100 + $25 = $125 Now, it is required to decrease this new price in order to obtain the original price of $100. As, we have that, 100 = 125 - 25 So, DECEASING $125 by $25 gives us the original price. Thus, the percentage by which the new price must be decreased to obtain the original price is 25%. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ |
