Which reverse-percentage statements are true? Select all that apply.

  1. A 50 dollar meal becomes 55 dollars after a 10% increase.Correct answer
  2. A 120 kilometre trail becomes 90 kilometres after a 25% reduction.Correct answer
  3. A phone costing 96 dollars after 20% off originally cost 115.20 dollars.
  4. An enrolment of 180 after a 50% rise started at 270.

Explanation

For the meal, 55 / 1.10 = 50, and for the trail, 90 / 0.75 = 120, so those statements correctly reverse their changes. The other statements apply a percentage to the final value instead of dividing by the relevant multiplier.
