How did the temperature change if: At first it increased by 25% and then decreased by 40%

24.6 % decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the original temperature

Increase by 25%

x + .25x

1.25x

Decrease by 40%

The amount decreased is

(1.25x) *.40

.496x

Subtract that from 1.25x

1.25x - .496x

.754x

We need to find the percent decrease

1 - .754 = .246

24.6 % decrease

Temperature decreased by 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let initial temperature be t

Step 1

Temperature changed from t to 0.75 t

The difference in %:

Temperature decreased by 25%

2,600 divided by 80 = 32.5
