Due to inflation, prices increased by 45% and then dropped by 20%. By what percent did prices increase overall?

Respuesta :

Because you increased by the percent THEN decreased by a different percent, you subtract both percents because they are of like terms. So you do 45%-20% which equals 25% which is what’s left after dropping the total.
25%

25% is all that's left after dropping the total.

I hope this helps :)
