Question

the price of a shirt is increased by 10%. later the price is reduced in a sale by 10%, is the sale price more, less or the same as it was at the start? give reasons for your answer

Answer 1

less

Explanation:

We assume price of a shirt is $100.

Initially price is increased by 10%: 100+10=110

Then it is reduced by 10%: 110-11=99

Now price of a shirt is $99.

Answer is price of a shirt is less than it was at the start.
