Clothing was reduced from $25 to $20, the decrease percentage = 5/25*100=20%
Clothing to increase from $20 to $25, the increase percentage = 5/20*100=25%

25%


To get from $20 to $25, we need to increase $20 by $5.
5/20 = 1/4 = 25%

So, we must increase $20 by 25% to get to $25


Answer: 25%

Cheers,
Brent
