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

Answer:

Manufacturers has to produce 63 DVD/Blu-Ray players to achieve a minimum cost of $644

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost equation is given as:

C=0.04x^2-5x+800

This is a quadratic equation in general form, which is:

y=ax^2+bx+c

Matching, we can say:

a = 0.04

b = -5

c = 800

The minimum occurs at  x=-\frac{b}{2a}

and the minimum value would be to place that "x" value into the equation.

First, we find the minimum using values of a and b:

x=-\frac{b}{2a}=-\frac{-5}{2(0.04)}=\frac{5}{0.08}=62.5

Plugging this into original, we get:

C=0.04x^2-5x+800\\C=0.04(62.5)^2-5(62.5)+800\\C=643.75

Rounding off to nearest whole number, we can say:

Manufacturers has to produce 63 DVD/Blu-Ray players to achieve a minimum cost of $644
