Minute Mystery: The 100% Question

Bite-sized brain teaser to solve in a minute or less.

 

 

The 100% Question

Category: Logical Reasoning

A price increases by 100%.
Then it decreases by 50%.

Are you back to the original price?

 

 

Solution

For example, the original price is $100

$100 + 100% = $200

$200 − 50% = $100

That is back to the original price. 100% increase doubles it. 50% decrease halves it.

Answer: Yes
