Question

What single decimal multiplier would you use to increase by 9% followed by 3% decrease

Answer 1

Answer:

= 94

Step-by-step explanation:

To work out the multiplier, first add or subtract the percentage from 100, then convert to a decimal. Example: we want to add 20% to £110. To work out the multiplier, add 20 to 100, to get 120, and then change it to a decimal (divide by 100) to get 1.2. The answer is £110 x 1.2 = £132.

so to workout an increase of 9% followed by 3% we would do:

9% - 3% = 6%. convert = 0.06 = 100-6 = 94 converted into 0.94 x 100 = 94
