No.
For example, 500 increased by 10% = 550
Now, decreasing 550 by 10% results in: 495, not 500.

Total revenue increases to [ (original) x (1.45) x (1.53) ] = original x 2.2185 = 121.85% increase
Multiply the original figure by 1.45 !
To calculate the percent increase, you first need to find the difference between the new value and the original value. In this case, 7200 increases by 1800 to become 9000. The difference is 1800. To find the percent increase, divide the difference (1800) by the original value (7200), then multiply by 100. So, (1800/7200) * 100 = 25%. Therefore, the percent increase when 7200 increases by 1800 is 25%.
Any percent less than 100.

Total revenue increases to [ (original) x (1.45) x (1.53) ] = original x 2.2185 = 121.85% increase
If two quantities are directly proportional, when one quantity increases by 10 percent, the other quantity will also increase by 10 percent. This means that the relationship between the two quantities remains consistent as they change by the same proportion.
The percent decrease is calculated by taking the difference between the original quantity and the new quantity, dividing it by the original quantity, and then multiplying by 100. In this case, the percent decrease would be (10 - 3) / 10 * 100 = 70%.
change of any quantity divided by its original quantity

40*1.4 = 56
Since the original value of 50 decreases to 18, it has a % decrease and not a percent increase. % decrease = [(50 - 18)/50] x 100% = 64%
A percent of decrease (percentage decrease) is when a value is reduced by a percentage of its original amount. e.g. 100 decreased by 15 percent is 85. A percent of increase (percentage increase) is when a value in increased by a percentage of its original amount. e.g. 100 increased by 15 percent is 115.
