if 15% of X is added to X and 5% of the result is subtracted from the result, then the value of X
1) increased
2)decreased
2)no change
4)depend on x

• 1)increased
  
  Let assume X =100
  15% of 100 = 15
  
  Now, new value X = 100+15 = 115
  5% of 115(new result) = 5.75
  
  So, 115-5.75 = 109.25
  
  So, X is increased. (100 increased to 109.25)

• 2)decreased
  X+0.15X=1.15X
  50% of 1.15X=0.575X
  Therefore on subtracting 1.15X-0.575X=0.575X < X
