To decrease an amount by 18%, what single multiplier would you use?

I believe you would calculate this like so;

We want 18% less than 100% of that amount therefore the single multiplier we would use is as follows:

(100% - 18%) = 82% 

Which alternatively = 0.82

Does that make sense? If not I can explain it a bit more. Please let me know.

Answer:

0.82

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the single multiplier used to show an amount decreased by 18%.

Since amount is decreasing by 18%, this means that 82% (100-18) of the amount is remaining.

The multiplier will be in decimal form, so we will convert 82% to decimal as:

\frac{82}{100}=0.82

Therefore, our required single multiplier is 0.82.

  • X-(A\cup B)=(X-A)\cap(X-B)

I'll assume the usual definition of set difference, X-A=\{x\in X,x\not\in A\}.

Let x\in X-(A\cup B). Then x\in X and x\not\in(A\cup B). If x\not\in(A\cup B), then x\not\in A and x\not\in B. This means x\in X,x\not\in A and x\in X,x\not\in B, so it follows that x\in(X-A)\cap(X-B). Hence X-(A\cup B)\subset(X-A)\cap(X-B).

Now let x\in(X-A)\cap(X-B). Then x\in X-A and x\in X-B. By definition of set difference, x\in X,x\not\in A and x\in X,x\not\in B. Since x\not A,x\not\in B, we have x\not\in(A\cup B), and so x\in X-(A\cup B). Hence (X-A)\cap(X-B)\subset X-(A\cup B).

The two sets are subsets of one another, so they must be equal.

  • X-\left(\bigcup\limits_{i\in I}A_i\right)=\bigcap\limits_{i\in I}(X-A_i)

The proof of this is the same as above, you just have to indicate that membership, of lack thereof, holds for all indices i\in I.

Proof of one direction for example:

Let x\in X-\left(\bigcup\limits_{i\in I}A_i\right). Then x\in X and x\not\in\bigcup\limits_{i\in I}A_i, which in turn means x\not\in A_i for all i\in I. This means x\in X,x\not\in A_{i_1}, and x\in X,x\not\in A_{i_2}, and so on, where \{i_1,i_2,\ldots\}\subset I, for all i\in I. This means x\in X-A_{i_1}, and x\in X-A_{i_2}, and so on, so x\in\bigcap\limits_{i\in I}(X-A_i). Hence X-\left(\bigcup\limits_{i\in I}A_i\right)\subset\bigcap\limits_{i\in I}(X-A_i).

Answer:

The required probability is 4/7.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample space for the experiment is: { BB, BR, RB, RR }

The outcome of the event we require is: { BR, RB }

The probabilities for each outcome is given as:

BB: 3/7 x 2/6 = 1/7

BR: 3/7 x 4/6 = 2/7

RB: 4/7 x 3/6 = 2/7

RR: 4/7 x 3/6 = 2/7

Adding the probabilities we have:

{ BR, RB} = 2/7 + 2/7 = 4/7

That's it!

10q - 30 is equivalent to _____.
mr_godi [17]

For this case we must find an expression equivalent to:

10q-30

We look for the factors of 10 and 30:

10: 1,2,5,10

30: 1,2,3,5,6,10,15,30

The greatest common factor of both numbers is 10.

Then, we can rewrite the expression as:

10 (q-3)

Answer:

10 (q-3)
