Answer: <em>1233.02</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>4% = 0.04</em>
<em>1235 × 0.04 = 49.4 (the original number was increased by this amount)</em>
<em>1235 + 49.4 = 1284.4 (new number after increment)</em>
<em>1 284.4 × 0,04 = 51.376 (the number has been reduced by this amount)</em>
<em>1284.4 - 51.376 = 1233.024- final amount.</em>
<em>Rounded to 2 DP: 1233.02</em>
