Question

PLZ HELP FAST :Drag each scenario to show Whether the final result will be greater than the original value, less than the original value, or the same as the original value

Answer 1

Explanation:

same as original.

less than original.

less than original.

same as original.

greater than original.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original amount be $100.

A) 50% decrease = 100-50%of 100=100-50=$50

Then increase 100 % = 50+100% of 50=50+50=$100, which is same as original.

B) 20% increase = 100+20%of 100=100+20=$120

Then decrease 25 % = 120-25% of 120=120-30=$90, which is less than original.

C) $25 increase = 100+25=$125

Then decrease $30= 125-30=$95, which is less than original.

D)

decrease =

Then increase 50%=, which is same as original.

E) 80% increase = 100+80%of 100=100+80=$180

Then decrease 40% = 180-40% of 180=180-72=$102, which is greater than original.

Answer 2

• same as original.
• less than original.
• less than original.
• same as original.
• greater than original.

Explanation:

Let the original amount be $100.

A) 50% decrease = 100-50%of 100=100-50=$50

Then increase 100 % = 50+100% of 50=50+50=$100, which is same as original.

B) 20% increase = 100+20%of 100=100+20=$120

Then decrease 25 % = 120-25% of 120=120-30=$90, which is less than original.

C) $25 increase = 100+25=$125

Then decrease $30= 125-30=$95, which is less than original.

D)
`33(1)/(3)\%=(100)/(3)%`

`(100)/(3)\%` decrease =
`100-(100)/(3)\%\ of\ 100=(200)/(3)`

Then increase 50%=
`(200)/(3)+50\%\ of\ (200)/(3)=(300)/(3)=100`, which is same as original.

E) 80% increase = 100+80%of 100=100+80=$180

Then decrease 40% = 180-40% of 180=180-72=$102, which is greater than original.
