प्रश्न
For an amount, explain why, a 20% increase followed by a 20% decrease is less than the original amount.
उत्तर
Let us assume the amount be Rs. 100
⇒ x% increase in amount = Amount + `x/100` × Amount
⇒ 20% increase in Rs. 100 = `100 + 20/100 xx 100`
= 100 + 20
= Rs. 120
⇒ x% decrease in amount = Amount – `x/100` × Amount
Now, 20% decrease in Rs. 120 = `120 - 20/100 xx 120`
= 120 – 24
= Rs. 96
Hence, decreased price is less than original amount.

Sunscreens block harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays produced by the sun. Each sunscreen has a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) that tells you how many minutes you can stay in the sun before you receive one minute of burning UV rays. For example, if you apply sunscreen with SPF 15, you get 1 minute of UV rays for every 15 minutes you stay in the sun.
Suppose a sunscreen allows 25% of the sun’s UV rays.
