An item was increased by 20% but then decreased by 25%. Calculate the percentage change and state if it was an increase or decrease.

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%

step-by-step explanation:

the length of o'p' is .

step-by-step explanation:

it is given that the quadrilateral m'n'o'p' is the image of quadrilateral mnop after dilation.

the center of dilation is origin and the scale factor is 1.5.

in dilation the image and preimge are similar figures. it means the sides of image and preimage are proportional.

the scale factor is defined as

the scale factor is 1.5.

multiply both sides by op.

note: if the value of op is given, then multiply the value of op with 1.5 to get the length of side o'p'.

therefore length of o'p' is .
