The series is decreasing by a certain number each time. The pattern appears to be subtracting 1, then subtracting 2, then subtracting 3, and so on. The first number, 25, is subtracted by 1 to get 24. Then, 24 is subtracted by 2 to get 22. Following this pattern, 22 is subtracted by 3 to get 19, and 19 is subtracted by 4 to get 15. Therefore, the next number in the series should be 15 subtracted by 5, which equals 10.Rate this question:

A store reduced the price of one of its products by 25 percent. What percentage of the reduced price must it be increased by putting the product back to its original price?
- A.
33 percent
- B.
20 percent
- C.
23 percent
- D.
35 percent
- E.
40 percent
Correct Answer
A. 33 percentExplanation
When the store reduces the price of a product by 25 percent, it means the price is now at 75 percent of its original price. To increase the price back to its original value, the store needs to find the percentage increase from 75 percent to 100 percent. This can be calculated by dividing the difference between 100 percent and 75 percent (25 percent) by 75 percent and multiplying by 100. The result is 33 percent, which is the percentage by which the reduced price must be increased to return to the original price.Rate this question:

The price of an article was cut 20% for a sale. By what percent must the discounted item be increased to again sell the article at the original price?
- A.
15%
- B.
20%
- C.
25%
- D.
30%
- E.
35%
Correct Answer
C. 25%Explanation
When the price of an article is cut by 20% for a sale, it means that the sale price is 80% of the original price. To find out by what percent the discounted item must be increased to sell the article at the original price, we need to calculate the percentage increase from 80% to 100%.
To do this, we can use the formula: ((New Value - Original Value) / Original Value) * 100. Plugging in the values, ((100 - 80) / 80) * 100 = 25%. Therefore, the discounted item must be increased by 25% to again sell the article at the original price.Rate this question:
