The price of an article of clothing was reduced from $25 to $20.the reduced price of the article was then increased by x percent to return it to $25. x= ?

Show: :: Answer
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%
