    A number is increased from 125 to 150; find the percentage increase. (ii) A number is decreased from 125 to 100; find the percentage decrease.
    Ans : Original value = 125, New value = 150
    Increase = (150 - 125) = 25
    Increase % = 25/125 × 100 = 20% (ii) Original number = 125, New value = 100,
    Decrease = (125 - 100) = 25
    Decrease % = 25/125 × 100 = 200%
