If x > y, increasing the original price of an item by x% and then decreasing the new price by y% is equivalent to multiplying the original price by
A. 1/100(x-y)

C. x-y-xy/100
D. 1+1/100(x-y+xy/100)
Hi. I am actually finding it hard to wrap my head around whether the given answers are indented properly.
Is the option A 1/((100)*(x-y)) or (x-y)/100
And for option B, (x-y-xy)/100 or x - y - (xy/100).
In this way, it feels quite confusing.
