When the base of a triangle is increased 10% and the altitude to this base is decreased 10%, the change in area is

$\text{(A)}\ 1\%~\text{increase}\qquad\text{(B)}\ \frac{1}2\%~\text{increase}\qquad\text{(C)}\ 0\%\qquad\text{(D)}\ \frac{1}2\% ~\text{decrease}\qquad\text{(E)}\ 1\% ~\text{decrease}$ The problems on this page are copyrighted by the Mathematical Association of America's American Mathematics Competitions.
