Answer:
A multiplier of 1.641 corresponds to a percentage increase or decrease of 64.1%.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine a percentage increase or decrease of a certain number, a calculation consisting of the multiplication of said number by 1 plus the decimals corresponding to the percentage to be increased must be performed. Thus, for example, if you want to increase a number by 50%, you must multiply that number by 1.50. Therefore, if you multiply a number by 1,641, this implies that you are wanting to increase or decrease the initial number by 64.1%.

69 out of 100 would be 69/100 = 0.69 = 69% were answered correctly
100% - 69% = 100-69 = 31 = 31% = 31/100 were incorrect
You need the Law of Sines for this. In our case we have the measure of angle B and side b, we have the measure of angle A and are looking for side a, or x. Setting up the Law using our info, we have

. We will solve for x by multiplying both sides by sin(42):

, first choice above.
