Answer:

C. 0.12

Step-by-step explanation:

Independent events

The outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of the other. If A and B are independent events then the probability of both ocurring is:

P(A and B) = P(A) x P(B)

With P(A) = 0.40 and P(B) = 0.30 then

P(A and B) = 0.40 x 0.30 = 0.12

You make $25000 a year, and you get a 10% raise. Your new salary is $____ The next year you get a 10% cut. Your new salary is $_

gtnhenbr [62]

Firstly, we have to find out what 10% of $25000 is. To do this, multiply $25000 by 0.1 (10% in decimal form): $\$25000 \times 0.1=\$2500$ . $2500 is the 10% raise.

Next, to find your first new salary, add $25000 and $2500 together: $\$25000+\$2500=\$27500$ . $27500 is your new salary after the 10% raise.

Next, we need to find 10% of $27500. It's a similar process as to finding 10% of $25000. $\$27500 \times 0.1=\$2750$ . $2750 is your 10% cut.

Next, since this is a cut, subtract $2750 from $27500. $\$27500-\$2750=\$24750$ . $24750 is your new salary after the 10% cut.

Next, to find the percentage change, firstly divide $24750 by $25000. $\frac{\$24750}{\$25000}=0.99\ \textsf{or}\ 99\%$ . Now this shows that your current salary is 99% of what you used to make. It is not how much less you make. To find how much less it is, subtract 99% from 100%: $100\%-99\%=1\%$ . Your current salary is 1% less than what you used to make.
