Question

A peep increased by 25% is a pop. A pop decreased by 40% is a slug, and a slug increased by 100% is a slap. What percent of a peep is a slap

Answer 1

A slap is 120% of a peep

Explanation:

We shall make use of values here

Let a peep be value of 100

A pop is 100 + 25% of 100

= 100 + 0.25(100) = 125

Pop = 125

A slug is pop deceased by 40%

= 125 - (40% of 125)

= 125-(50) = 75

A slap is a slug increased by 100%

= 75 + (100% of 75)

= 75 + 75 = 150

So now, we want to calculate percent of peep is a slap

That will be;

150/125 * 100%

= 120%
