If the price of a washing machine is first increased by 25% and then decreased by 25%, then the net change in price will be a : |
6.25% increase 6.25% decrease 6.5% increase 6.5% decrease |
6.25% decrease |
Net change in percentage = +A% - B% - \(\frac{AB }{100}\)% = +25% - 25% - \(\frac{25 × 25 }{100}\)% = - 6.25% = 6.25% decrease |
