Answer:
The original amount
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x equal our amount
We have a 25% increase
The increase is x*.25
The new total is the original amount plus the increase
new total =x+.25x
=1.25x
New we have the decrease
We have a 20% decrease
The decrease is 1.25x*.20
.25x
The new total is the original amount minus the decrease
new total =1.25x - .25x
=x
