When something is increased and decreased by same % it will always decrease
Example:
Let Price of toy = 100
First it increased by 50% now its 150 and then decrease by 50% now 75
Total decrement = (50 * 50)/100 = 25 %
Example:
Let Price of toy = 100
First it increased by 50% now its 150 and then decrease by 50% now 75
Total decrement = (50 * 50)/100 = 25 %
