Lets use 1 to solve this problem because it is easiest to show.

Multiply 1 by 1.3 for a 30% increase (1*1.3=1.3).

Then multiply 1.3 by .7 for a 30% decrease. (1.3*.7=.91)

Therefore the page had a 9% reduction from its original size or is 91% of its original size.

Answer:

Smaller the size you started with

Step-by-step explanation:

Because for example 100 times .30 is 30 100+30=130 and 130 times .30 is 39 100-39=91. 100 > 91
