What single percentage change is equivalent to a 23% decrease followed by a 16% increase?
Stells [14]
<h3>Answer:  10.68% decrease (choice F)</h3>

==========================================================

Explanation:

A decrease of 23% means that you still retain 77% of the original value. This is because 23% + 77% = 100%. Or you could write it like this: 100% - 23% = 77%. The 77% then converts to the multiplier 0.77

An increase of 16% will involve the multiplier 1.16 in which we can think of it like 1.16 = 1 + 0.16 = 100% + 16%

Now we'll multiply those two decimal values mentioned:

0.77*1.16 = 0.8932

This result is smaller than 1, so we have a percent decrease of some sort. Subtract it from 1 to find the decimal form of the percent decrease

1 - 0.8932 = 0.1068

Lastly, move the decimal point 2 spots to the right:

0.1068 converts to 10.68%

We have a decrease of 10.68% overall when combining the initial 23% decrease followed by the 16% increase.

It turns out the order doesn't matter, and we could do the 16% increase first then the 23% decrease next. The key as to why the order doesn't matter all relies on the fact that multiplication can be done in any order. As you can probably guess, this process can be extended for as many percentage increases and/or decreases that you want.

Solve this equation with substitution method :-<br> x+5 = 3 (y+5)<br> x-5 = 7 (y-5)
Damm [24]
From the first equation,
x+5 = 3(y+5)
x = 3y + 15 - 5
Now substitue x in the second equation with (3y +15 - 5).
x-5 = 7(y-5)
(3y+15-5) - 5 = 7(y-5)
3y +5 = 7y - 35
-4y = - 40
y = 10

Since y is 10, and x is (3y +15 - 5),
x = 30 + 15 - 5 = 40

Drag each figure to show if it is similar to the figure shown or why it is not similar
natita [175]

Answer:

In the given shapes above, we can see that all shapes have four sides.

Above geometrical shapes could be named as Rectangles, parallelogram or quadrilateral.

First two shapes are Rectangles.

Third is a parallelogram.

Fourth and fifth shapes are Rectangles again.

Also we can say all those shapes with four side as quadrilaterals. (Note: A quadrilateral has four sides.)

Below shown shape has only three sides in it.

It is called a triangle when a shape has three sided close figure.

So, we could drag : Not similar - Different Type of shape.
