Well to solve this, lets plug in some numbers. Lets assume that for now, the starting number is 2. If it increases by 100%, bringing it up to 4, then decreases 100%, it is brought down to zero. Now one thing to note is that any number decrease by 100% is automatically zero. Watch, we start with two, it is then increased by 150%, bringing it up to 5, then decreased by 100%, bringing it back down to zero. In conclusion, 100% cannot be specified as a value, but rather a relation. 100% represents the entire number, meaning that if you are decreasing a number by 100%, you are basically subtracting the number by itself!

A car traveled at an average rate of 51 miles per hour on one highway. It then traveled at an average rate of 71 miles per hour
sergiy2304 [10]

d1 = 51(t)

d2 = 71(8 - t)

d1 + d2 = 508

and now you just have to solve for t.
