Thank you!

wat do u mean by ur question? if the price goes down by 5.8% say for example $25 that will be $23.55.
then the rate that it should increase to be $25 again

if that's it, then you'll need $1.45 for it be $25 again.







i'm not really sure bout it. correct me if I am wrong.

Let v1 be the first price, v2 the second(down price), p2 be the percentage required.

now you have





From here you can find p2, which is the percentage required. (answer p2 = 6.15%). As it is mentioned in the above post.
