Answer:
The first amount is larger by 25% or .25a
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets increase a by 50%
The increase is .5a
So the new value is a + .5a = 1.5a
Now we will decrease the new value by 50%
decrease = .5 (1.5a) = .75a
The new value of a is 1.5a - .75a = .75a
a > .75a
a - .75a = .25a
a is bigger than .75a by .25a
