Answer:

The single decimal multiplier used to increase by 18% followed by a  12% decrease is 0.21.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' be the number

As first the number has to be increased by 18%

so

Step 1: write the percentage '18%' in decimal form

18% = 0.18    

Step 2: For percentage increases: add the decimal to 1

1 + 0.18 = 1.18    

Step 3: Multiply the number x by the multiplier, found in Step 2

x × 1.18 = 1.18x

<u><em>NEXT WE HAVE TO DECREASE 1.18x by 12%</em></u>

Apply the same method but with a number 1.18x

  • Write the percentage '12%' in decimal form

12% = 0.12

  • For percentage decreases: subtract the decimal to 1

1 - 0.18 = 0.18

  • Multiply the number 1.18x by the multiplier, found in Previous step

1.18x × 0.18 = 0.21x

Therefore, the single decimal multiplier used to increase by 18% followed by a  12% decrease is 0.21.

NO LINKS!!!<br><br>QRSTU ~ FGCDE. Find FG, CD, and EF. ​
arsen [322]

Answer:

See below ~

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

<u>QRSTU ~ FGCDE</u>

Finding the scale factor :

  • Take two corresponding sides in proportion
  • RS : GC
  • 40 : 12
  • <u>10 : 3</u>

Applying the scale factor to find the missing sides :

- FG :

  • QR : FG = 10 : 3
  • 30/FG = 10/3
  • FG = 30/10 x  3
  • FG = 3 x 3
  • <u>FG = 9</u>

- CD :

  • ST : CD = 10 : 3
  • 40/CD = 10/3
  • CD = 40/10 x 3
  • CD = 4 x 3
  • <u>CD = 12</u>

- EF :

  • UQ : EF = 10 : 3
  • 30/EF = 10/3
  • EF = 30/10 x 3
  • EF = 3 x 3
  • <u>EF = 9</u>
