8 39/40
=8+39/40
=8•40/40+39/40
=320/40+39/40
=320+39/40
=359/40
=8.975
The answer is 8 39/40=8.975
<u>Given</u>:
The given equation is 
We need to determine the approximate value of q.
<u>Value of q:</u>
To determine the value of q, let us solve the equation for q.
Hence, Subtracting 
on both sides of the equation, we get;
Subtracting both sides of the equation by 2q, we have;
Dividing both sides of the equation by -1, we have;
Now, substituting the value of 
, we have;
Subtracting the values, we get;
Thus, the approximate value of q is 0.585
Hence, Option C is the correct answer.
Answer:
The single decimal multiplier used to increase by 18% followed by a 12% decrease is 0.21.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 'x' be the number
As first the number has to be increased by 18%
so
Step 1: write the percentage '18%' in decimal form
18% = 0.18
Step 2: For percentage increases: add the decimal to 1
1 + 0.18 = 1.18
Step 3: Multiply the number x by the multiplier, found in Step 2
x × 1.18 = 1.18x
<u><em>NEXT WE HAVE TO DECREASE 1.18x by 12%</em></u>
Apply the same method but with a number 1.18x
- Write the percentage '12%' in decimal form
12% = 0.12
- For percentage decreases: subtract the decimal to 1
1 - 0.18 = 0.18
- Multiply the number 1.18x by the multiplier, found in Previous step
1.18x × 0.18 = 0.21x
Therefore, the single decimal multiplier used to increase by 18% followed by a 12% decrease is 0.21.
