Answer:

10% Decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number is 100.

Now, if we increase the number by 20%, the new number will be -

100 + (100 × 20%) = 100 + 20 = 120

The new number is 120.

Again, if we decrease the new number by 25%, the number will be -

120 - (120 × 25%) = 120 - 30 = 90

The new number is 90.

The change will be decreased by = (100 - 90) = 10

Percentage change = (10 ÷ 100) × 100 = 10%
