What single decimal multiplier would you use to increase by 18% followed by a 12% decrease?

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.

MAXImum [283]
To find the answer we have to slowly analyze the command.
 For surely on the one side we want to have total cash spent, so 80.8$
We know that there are 2 types of frames 5,80$ and 9.60$.
We know too, that f is the number of frames 5.80$ bought.
Simply, to find the cash spent on those frames we have to just mulitply 5.80$ times f, so we obtain f*5.8.
We can say that number of bigger frames is 20-f.
So to find cash spent on bigger frames we have to multiply 9.60$ times (20-f), so
9.60*(20-f)
Now we can just add cost of all frames together
f*5.80+9.60(20-f)
And we know that is equal to 80.8, so
f*5.80+9.60(20-f)=80.8

As we can see, the answer is b.

Solve each system by substitution.<br> y=-4x-9 y=3x+19
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

x=-4, y=7

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the first equation, y = -4x - 9, so we can substitute y in the second equation for -4x - 9.

y = 3x + 19

-4x - 9 = 3x + 19

Add 9 to both sides

-4x = 3x + 28

Subtract 3x

-7x = 28

Divide by -7

x = -4

Plugging this into the equation, we have:

y = -4x - 9

y = -4(-4) - 9

y = 16 - 9

y = 7

Box 1 contains 1000 lightbulbs of which 10% are defective. Box 2 contains 2000 lightbulbs of which 5% are defective. (a) Suppose
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

a) There is a 66.7% chance that you were given box 1

b) There is a 80% chance that you were given box 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, we need to note that there is a 1/10 chance of getting a defective bulb with box 1 and a 1/20 chance in box 2.

a) To find the answer to this, find the probability of getting a defective bulb for each box. Since there is only one bulb pulled in this example, we just use the base numbers given.

Box 1 = 1/10

Box 2 = 1/2

From this we can see that Box 1 is twice as likely that you get a defective bulb. As a result, the percentage chance would be 2/3 or 66.7%

b) For this answer, we need to square each of the probabilities in order to get the probability of getting a defective one twice.

Box 1 = 1/10^2 = 1/100

Box 2 = 1/20^2 = 1/400

As a result, Box 1 is four times more likely. This means that it would be a 4/5 chance and have a probability of 80%
