<h3>
Answer: 10.68% decrease (choice F)</h3>
==========================================================
Explanation:
A decrease of 23% means that you still retain 77% of the original value. This is because 23% + 77% = 100%. Or you could write it like this: 100% - 23% = 77%. The 77% then converts to the multiplier 0.77
An increase of 16% will involve the multiplier 1.16 in which we can think of it like 1.16 = 1 + 0.16 = 100% + 16%
Now we'll multiply those two decimal values mentioned:
0.77*1.16 = 0.8932
This result is smaller than 1, so we have a percent decrease of some sort. Subtract it from 1 to find the decimal form of the percent decrease
1 - 0.8932 = 0.1068
Lastly, move the decimal point 2 spots to the right:
0.1068 converts to 10.68%
We have a decrease of 10.68% overall when combining the initial 23% decrease followed by the 16% increase.
It turns out the order doesn't matter, and we could do the 16% increase first then the 23% decrease next. The key as to why the order doesn't matter all relies on the fact that multiplication can be done in any order. As you can probably guess, this process can be extended for as many percentage increases and/or decreases that you want.
Multiply the intrest rate per year by 2 then subtract that number from 4,000. You will get the answer of $3.93 after 2 years.
Because it means it has two answers when -8×-8 it equals 64 so is 8×8
in math when negative multiply negative it will be positive...
Step-by-step explanation:
10 minutes = 600 seconds
Seconds per question is seconds/questions
Divide 600 by the number of questions:
600/(number of questions) = ________ seconds per question
Let x be the old price
X= 1200$
The price decreased 20% after 1 year to become price y :
Y= 0.8x
= 0.8 (1200)
= 960$
In the year after y also decreased 20% to be price y’:
Y’= 0.8y
= 0.8 (960)
= 768 $
The price y’ then decreased 20% to become price y’’:
Y’’ = 0.8 y’
= 0.8 (768)
= 614.4 $
Then the price will be 614.4 $ after 3 years
