      Question

      A number is initially increased by 24% and subsequently

      reduced by 30%. Determine the overall percentage change in the number, indicating whether it is an increase or a decrease.
      A 12.6% increase Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 13.2% increase Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 10.8% increase Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 12.6% decrease Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 13.2% decrease Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the number be '100n'. Final number = 1.24 X 0.7 X 100n = '86.8n' Therefore, net percentage decrease = [(100n - 86.8n) Ă· 100n] X 100 = (13.2n/100n) X 100 = 13.2%
