A 55% decrease followed by a 25% increase​

Mathematics

Lina20 [59]3 years ago

Let's say the item starts off at $100.

A 55% decrease means 100%-55% = 45% of the value is still there. The item is now worth 0.45*100 = 45 dollars.

Now increase this by 25%. The long way to do this is to add 25% of 45 onto 45

(25% of 45) + (45) = 0.25*45+45 = 11.25+45 = 56.25

Or, we can multiply 45 by 1.25 since the multiplier 1.25 represents a 25% increase

1.25*45 = 56.25

-----------------------------------------------------

The item was $100, it drops to $45 after the 55% decrease, then it is $56.25 after the 25% increase.

Let's compute the percent difference

A = 100 = old value

B = 56.25 = new value

C = percent difference

C = 100*(B-A)/A

C = 100*(56.25-100)/100

C = -43.75%

The negative C value indicates a percent decrease.

So combining a 55% decrease and a 25% increase leads to an overall decrease of 43.75%

-----------------------------------------------------

A shortcut is to multiply 0.45 and 1.25 to get 0.5625

Then subtract this from 1 to get 1-0.5625 = 0.4375

This is another way to see we have a 43.75% decrease.

Sloane kicked a soccer ball off the ground at a speed of 36 feet per second. the height of the ball can be represented by the fu
deff fn [24]

The total time in seconds the ball will take to travel before returning the ground is 2.25 seconds.

<h3>What is factorisation?</h3>

The breaking or breakdown of an entity (such as an integer, a matrices, or a polynomials) into a products of another unit, or factors, whose multiplication results in the original number, matrix, etc., is known as factorisation or factoring in mathematics. 

Calculation for the time;

Let 't' be the time in second the ball will travel.

Let H(t) be the total height travelled by the ball.

The equation of the height is given as

H(t)=-16 t^{2}+36 t

As soon as the ball will return to the ground the total height will become zero.

So, put equation of height equal to zero.

-16 t^{2}+36 t=0

Factorise the above equation;

-16 t\left(t-\frac{9}{4}\right)=0

Put each value equals to zero to get the value of time.

\begin{aligned}&t=0 \mathrm{sec} \\&t=9 / 4=2.25 \mathrm{sec}\end{aligned}

As, time can not be zero

Therefore, the total time taken by the ball to return to the ground is 2.25 sec.
