The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will calculate the number of members in the organization after each year and then find the overall increase or decrease after two years. ### Step 1: Calculate the number of members after the first year. - Initial number of members = 2500 - Percentage increase in the first year = 10% To find the increase in members: \[ \text{Increase} = \frac{10}{100} \times 2500 = 250 \] Now, add this increase to the initial number of members: \[ \text{Members after first year} = 2500 + 250 = 2750 \] ### Step 2: Calculate the number of members after the second year. - Number of members at the beginning of the second year = 2750 - Percentage decrease in the second year = 10% To find the decrease in members: \[ \text{Decrease} = \frac{10}{100} \times 2750 = 275 \] Now, subtract this decrease from the number of members at the beginning of the second year: \[ \text{Members after second year} = 2750 - 275 = 2475 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the overall change in the number of members after two years. To find the overall change: \[ \text{Change} = \text{Members after second year} - \text{Initial members} \] \[ \text{Change} = 2475 - 2500 = -25 \] ### Conclusion: The number of members decreased by 25 after two years. ---
