<span>If a quantity increases by 25% and then decreases by 25%, will that result be the original quantity? Explain.
Let’s try to be able to know the answer:
=> Let’s have 10 as the value
Increase by 25%
=> 10 + 25%
=> 10 * .25 =  2.5
=> 10 + 2.5 = 12.5 the new value
Now, decrease this by 25%
=> 12.5 – 25%
=> 12.5 * .25 = 3.125
=> 12.5 – 3.125 = 9.375 or 9.4
Thus, the given statement is false.

The sale price of an item is $180 after a 25% discount is applied. What is the original price of the item?
Valentin [98]
So
100%=original
25% discount
100-25=75
it is 180 sale
75%=180
find 100%

a hack is to recognize that 75/3 times 4=100 so
75%=180
divide 3
25%=60
times 4
100%=240


the real way is proportions
75:180 =100:x
75/180=100/x
multiply both sides by 180x
75x=18000
divide 75
x=240



origitnal price=$240

I dont know how to make 0.3 as a fraction and then simplify.
Lapatulllka [165]
0.3 is 3/10, (which is already simplified) because .3 is out of 1.  Which means that that 1 is 10.  Which is 3/10.
