Detailed Solution & Logic
Decreases by / कमी 64.3%
Let original price = 100
After 40% decrease = $ 100 \times 0.6 = 60 $
After 50% decrease = $ 60 \times 0.5 = 30 $
After 15% decrease = $ 30 \times 0.85 = 25.5 $
After 40% increase = $ 25.5 \times 1.4 = 35.7 $
Net change = 100 - 35.7 = 64.3
Answer = 64.3% decrease
