Hi all,
How do I solve this maths problem?
If the percent increase from A to B is 20% and the percent decrease from B to A is 16.67%, what is the value of A?
I start off by formulating these 2 equations below
(B-A)/A = 20% --------------- (1)
(B-A)/B = 16.67% ------------ (2)
But isn't this contradicting each other? The other method is by substituting a figure example like A = 100, but isn't this guessing work?
Thanks all for helping
