solution

x * 1.25 = 2
x = 1.6
so, the first increase was 60%

60%

100-40=60+10000-1000 times 10=60/100=0.6 turn that to a percent

60 percent

Turn the 25% increase into a decimal = 1.25
Write equation:
X * 1.25 = 2
X = 1.25 / 2
x = 1.6
Turn 1.6 into a percent and you get 60%, which, believe it or not...Gets you the answer! *GAZPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP*
