Number = 350
Increase = 20%
Decrease = 25%
Formula:
Percentage increase/decrease = (Increased or decreased value/original value) × 100
Solution:
First, we increase the number by 20%.
350 × (120/100) = 420
Then, we decrease the new number by 25%.
420 × (75/100) = 315
Therefore, the new number is 315.
