Question 1
If the price of an item is increased by \(25\%\) and then decreased by \(20\%\), what is the net percentage change?
  • 0%✔️
  • 5% increase
  • 5% decrease
  • No change
Correct Answer Explanation
Let original price \(= 100\). After \(25\%\) increase: \(125\). After \(20\%\) decrease: \(125 \times 0.80 = 100\). Net change \(= 0\%\). The item returns to its original price.
