You increase the size of a paper by 30% then you decrease it by 30% what is the size of the paper now

polet [3.4K]3 years ago

I'm assuming that this is applying to the linear dimensions. Let's say the paper is 10 inches by 10 inches

The new paper will be 13 inches by 13 inches since 
30% of 10 = 0.3*10 = 3, and we add on 3 to 10 to get 13
Another way to see it: 130% of 10 = 1.3*10 = 13

--------------------------------------

Now decrease the paper by 30%
30% of 13 = 0.3*13 = 3.9
13 - 3.9 = 9.1
This is the same as saying 70% of 13 = 0.7*13 = 9.1

The paper is now 9.1 inches by 9.1 inches

As you can see, the paper has not been restored to its original size (10 by 10). The reason why is because 30% of a larger number leads to a bigger decrease than expected.

never [62]
Well the first thing you have to do is find out how many times 7 goes into 50 whole. This is 7. So then you take the answer to (7x7) from 50 which gives you one, and put it over 50. This equals 7 + 1/50

Suppose that the probability that a customer plans to make a purchase is 0.32. Suppose that the probability of responding to an
Elanso [62]

Answer:

0.6495

Step-by-step explanation:

This is question based on conditional probability

The probability that a customer plans to make a purchase = 0.32.

The probability that a customer plans not to make a purchase = 1 - 0.32

= 0.68

The probability of responding to an advertisement given that the customer plans to make a purchase = 0.63

The probability of responding to an advertisement given that a person does not plan to make a purchase = 0.16.

Given that a person responds to the advertisement, what is the probability that they plan to make a purchase is calculated as:

0.32 × 0.63/(0.32 × 0.63) + (0.16 × 0.68)

= 0.2016/ 0.2016 + 0.1088

= 0.2016/0.3104

= 0.6494845361

Approximately = 0.6495
