Question

What single decimal multiplier would you use to decrease by 6% followed by a 9% decrease?

Answer 1

Answer: 0.8554

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

Explanation:

A 6% decrease means the multiplier is 1-0.06 = 0.94

A 9% decrease means the multiplier is 1-0.09 = 0.91

Multiply those results: 0.94*0.91 = 0.8554
