Question

What is the final amount if 777 is decreased by 12% followed by a 4% increase?

Give your answer rounded to 2 DP.

Answer 1

First find the decreased value,

`777-777\cdot0.12=777-93.24=683.76`

Then from the value found, find increased value,

`683.76+683.76\cdot0.04\approx\boxed{711.11}`

Hope this helps.
