A stock investment went up 25% in 2006. Starting at this increased value, what percent would it have to go down in 2007 to be back to its original price at the beginning of 2006?

PS The answer is not 25%

Is it -25%. I’m guessing. I’m not sure if that is correct.

It is 20%. Is that helpful at all?
