Answer:

I think 55%

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

  • Increases = 50%
  • On Wednesday, sammy must decrease 50% to return to original price

Step-by-step explanation:

price on monday go to: 100% + 20% = 120% = 1,2 x first price

price on tuesday go to: 125% of 120% = 1,25 x 1,2 = 1,5 x first price

Increases = 50%

on Wednesday, sammy must decrease 50% (of price after second increases) to return to original price

For example for understanding:

If original price is $100

firs increase: new price: $100 + $20 = $120

second increase: new new price: $120 + $30 = $150

final price - original price = $150 - $100 = $50

And  icreases/original = $50/$100 =0,5 = 50%

For return to orignial price, sammy must have to reduce 50% the price of avocados in wednesday
