A number is first increased by 20% and then reduced by 15%. If the final value is 2040, then what is the initial value of the number?
Answer
The correct answer is A: 2000. After 20% increase and 15% decrease, the multiplier is 1.20 × 0.85 = 1.02. So initial value = 2040/1.02 = 2000.

After 20% increase and 15% decrease, the multiplier is 1.20 × 0.85 = 1.02. So initial value = 2040/1.02 = 2000.
