A 2.09% increase.

This is just some simple multiplication. A 23% increase is the same as multiplying by 1.23, and a 17% decrease is like multiplying by 0.83, since 100-17=83. Just multiply 1.23*0.83, which equals 1.0209, or a 2.09% increase.

Answer: 2.09% increase

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let x = the original amount. then

23% increase is: x(1 + 0.23) = 1.23x

and a 17% decrease is 1.23x(1 - 0.17)

                                   = 1.23x(0.83)

                                   = 1.0209x

x was the original amount and 1.0209x is the new amount.

The percent change is: \dfrac{new-original}{original}=\dfrac{1.0209x-x}{x}=\dfrac{0.0209x}{x}=0.0209

Since the result is positive, it represents an increase.

Move the decimal two places to the right to convert the number to percent.

+0.0209 = 2.09 increase

Is y = 3x+4 and y=3x-5 parallel, perpendicular or neither?
sineoko [7]

Answer: These Lines are <em>Parallel</em>

Step-by-step explanation: For two lines to be parallel, they must have the same slope with different y-intercepts. Both of the lines above have a slope of 3 and differing y-intercepts of 4 and -5. Therefore, these lines must be parallel to one another.

Joe worked 12 hours and packed 32 cartons. Bob worked 25 hours and packed 64 cartons. Did Joe and Bobwork at the same rate?O YES
Bas_tet [7]

To be able to compare the rates, we will write them in fraction form.

The fraction that represents Joe's rate is:

\frac{32}{12},

and the fraction that represents Bob's rate is:

\frac{64}{25}\text{.}

Simplifying the above fractions, we get:

\begin{gathered} \frac{32}{12}=\frac{8}{3}, \\ \frac{64}{25}=\frac{64}{25}\text{.} \end{gathered}

Since:

\frac{8}{3}\ne\frac{64}{25}

then Bob and Joe did not work at the same rate.

Answer:

No, Bob and Joe did not work at the same rate.
