360 is increased by 25%. The result is then decreased by 50%. What is the final number?

225

Step-by-step explanation:

25% of 360 is 90

360 + 90 = 450

50% of 450 = 225

450 - 225 is 225

the answer is 200

step-by-step explanation:

the way the question is worded, it seems to imply the $264 interest is simple interest, not compound interest.

the simple interest for 2 years is $264; the simple interest for 1 year is $132.

$132 interest on a $600 investment means an interest rate of (132/600)*100 = 22%.

the value of $200 at 22% interest compounded annually for three years is

200%281.22%29%5e3

the amount of interest is that value, minus the original $200.
