Given the statement:
A 20% increased followed by a 20% decrease
Explanation:
There is no change in value based on the given statement, since increasing a number by 20% then decreasing it afterward by the same 20% means that the change is 0. Hence, we are not given any condition that we will take 20% again from the increased value, therefore we can only assume that the change is 0. If we are asked to take 20% out of the new value that was increased, then the result may vary and computation is needed in order to determine what is the exact amount or value.
