Well this is simple u wanna make the percentage a decimal

$$10\div100=0.1$$

$$0.1\times2000=200$$

Since we already know they recorded the total sales of $2,000 on Monday.

$$2000-200=1,800$$

So the sales decreased at 200 dollars

And they had 1,800 sales on Tuesday

Now Wednesday

$$20\div100=0.2$$

Now multiply that by the total sales on Tuesday

$$0.2\times1800=360$$

So there was a 360 decrease on Wednesday

$$1800-360=1440$$

So they made 1440 sales on Wednesday

Since it says there was a "sales increased by an amount equal to 25% of Monday’s total sales."

$$25\div100=0.25$$

$$0.25\times2000=500$$

So there was a 500 dollar increase

$$1440+500=1940$$

So since we started with 2,000 on monday and ended up with 1940 on thursday to find the net change we must subtract

$$2000 - 1940=60$$

So the Net Change was by 60 dollars
