50% increase in x = x + x/2 = 3/2(x)
20% decrease in y = y-y/5 = 4y/5

z= xy^2

Z' = (3x/2)(16y^2/25)
Z' = 24/25 (xy^2)

z - 4%(z) = Z'

SO there was 4% decrease. IMO A.

1-(24/25)
(25-24)/25
(1/25)*100
4

Another way

Original Z = X * Y^2

New x = 1.5x (150% of x i.e 150/100 * x)
New Y = .8Y (80/100*Y)

New Z = 1.5 X * (.8Y) ^ 2
= 1.5 * .64 * X*Y ^2
= .96 * X *Y^2
= 96/100 * X * Y ^ 2

Threfre new Z is 4% reduction of Original Z
