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

Mathematics

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.

HELP PLZZ!!???? Determine the rate at which Zayna drives for 3 hours at a rate of 44 miles per hour. Later, she drives for anoth
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

C. or 54

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming we are trying to find r then you would get 3*44 because distance=speed*time so distance is for the 3 hour time is 132 miles. To find the reaming distance you do 240-132= 108 so then we know distance/time=speed so 108/2=54 so the speed is 54 mph

when (2x - 3)^2 is subtracted from 5x^2, what is the result? And how can I show the answer? Thank you x
Leni [432]
5x^2 - (2x - 3)^2 = 
5x^2 - ((2x - 3)(2x - 3)) =
5x^2 - (4x^2 - 6x - 6x + 9) =
5x^2 - (4x^2 - 12x + 9) =
5x^2 - 4x^2 + 12x - 9 =
x^2 + 12x - 9 <===

What is the LCD of 1/2 and 3/5
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

How you find LCD (lowest common denominator) is that you have to look at the denominator (the bottom number) and try to find the lowest multiple between both of the numbers that is on the bottom (in this case it is 2 and 5). Sometimes you have to multiply both denominators together to get a LCD.

Example of multiplying two denominators together to get an LCD:

1/3 and 1/13 LCD is 39 because you multiply 3 and 13.

1/5 and 1/4 LCD is 20 because you multiply 5 and 4.
