<h3>
Answer: 0.85</h3>
Explanation:
If we start off with $100 and decrease by 15%, then we are decreasing by $15 since 15% of 100 = 0.15*100 = 15
We start with $100 and drop to 100-15 = 85. Dividing this over the original 100 gets us 85/100 = 0.85
Put another way, 100% - 15% = 1 - 0.15 = 0.85
The decimal multiplier for "decrease by 15%" is 0.85; this sort of thing is useful if you wish to apply multiple discounts to a product.
Side note: the 0.85 can be thought of as 85%, so the product's new value is 85% of its original value
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Column 2 = Column 1 * Column 3</u>
- C = 5*7 = 35

There are 4 quarts in 1 gallon. You would multiply 4 qts x 9 gallons for a total of 36 quarts. He used 10 quarts and 3 gallons (12 quarts) leaving 14 quarts. There are 2 pints in every quart so you would multiply 2 x 14 for 28 quarts. I hope that helped!!!
