Answer 1

Answer:

60.72

Step-by-step explanation:

Monday: 60 degrees

Tuesday: temperature increases by 10 percent

60 + 10% of 60

60 + .10*60 = 70 +6 = 66

Wednesday: temperature decreases by 8 percent

66 - 8%of 66

66 - .08*66 = 66 -5.28=60.72

Answer 2

Answer:

60.72°F

Step-by-step explanation:

10% increase: 100+10 = 110% of the previous

On Tuesday:

110/100 × 60

66°F

Decrease by 8%: 100-8 = 92% of the previous

On Wednesday:

92/100 × 66

60.72°F
