Sorry but stuck on stupid on this one.
If I have a random number – let’s say 545 and I reduce it by 20%. It’s reduced by 109 making it 436.
But if I want to increase it back to 545 I have to add 25%
Edit: Ahhhh Thank you all for this! Makes perfect sense now!

Yes. Obviously, the 20% of a larger number is not the same as 20% of a smaller number, so you gotta adjust it if you want to get back where you started.
