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)

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.
