Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If x is increased by 50%, it means that the amount by which x is increased is
50/100 × x = 0.5 × x = 0.5x
The new value of x would be
x + 0.5x = 1.5x
If the new value is further decreased by 30%, it means that the amount by which it was decreased is
30/100 × 1.5x = 0.3 × 1.5x = 0.45x
The new value of x would be
1.5x - 0.45x = 1.05x
Therefore, the result is 1.05x
