When a number is first increased by 10 % and then reduced by 10 % the number ?

A. decreased by 1 %
B. increased by 1 %
C. does not change
D. None of them

Increased Number = (110% of x)

= (110/100 × x) = (11x/10)

Finally reduced number = (90 % of 11x/10)

= (90/100 × 11x/10) = 99x/100

Decrease = (x – 99x/100) = x/100

Decrease % = (x/100 × 1/x × 100)% = 1 %
