Question

Is a 20% decrease followed by a 40% increase greater than the original price, less than the original price or the same as the original

Answer 1

Greater than the original price.

Explanation:

Say for example that the price is $10.

A 20% decrease will be $2 less or 10 -2 =$8.

A 40% increase will be $3.20 more or 8 + 3.20 = $11.20.

So yes it will give a greater price than the original.
