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

Determine the measure of each indicated angle. Show all necessary steps!
Mariana [72]

The measure of the unknown angle are; a) x = 89 degrees, b) p = 92 degrees.

<h3>What is the sum of all the angles of a regular polygon?</h3>

For a regular polygon of any number of sides, the sum of its exterior angle is 360°.

We already know that a 4-sided polygon's angles add up to 360 degrees.

So to find the value of x:

69 + 118 + 84 + x = 360

x = 360 - (69 + 118 + 84)

x = 89 degrees

b)

For a 4-sided polygon, we also know that the outside angles add up to 360 degrees.

So to find the value of p:

100 + 62 + 106 + p = 360

p = 360 - (100 + 62 + 106)

p = 92 degrees
