The increase in the price of a certain item was 25%. Then the price was decreased by 20% and then again increased by 10%. What is the resultant increase in the price?
5%
10%
12.5%
15%
Let the initial price be Rs. 100. After 25% rise, the new price = 100 + 25% of 100 = Rs. 125 After 20% fall, the new price = 125 – 20% of 125 = Rs. 100 After 10% rise, the new price = 100 + 10% of 100 = Rs. 110 So, final percentage increase in price = 10%
