Answer:
the original number is greater
Step-by-step explanation:
1. let 1x be your starting number
2. therefore, 0.5 * 1x = 0.5x ( amount after you decreased it by 50%)
3. then increase: 0.5x * 1.5 = 0.75x (amount after you increased it by 50%)
4. 0.75x < 1x (this means that the original number is larger than the one you decreased and then increased)
Number 4. will be a. because if you do 7*9=63*10=630.
Answer:
1(5/16)=1.3125
7(5/16)=7.3125
26(5/16)=26.3125
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that 5/16=0.3125, the mixed fraction 1(5/16)=1+(5/16)=1+0.3125=1.3125
Also, 7(5/16)=7+(5/16)=7+0.3125=7.3125
Furthermore,
26(5/16)=26+(5/16)=26+0.3125=26.3125
In the same vein, given that 4/15=0.266
1(4/15)=1+(4/15)=1+0.266=1.266
17(4/15)=17+(4/15)=17+0.266=17.266
23(4/15)=23+(4/15)=23+0.266=23.266
Answer:
75 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
If an item is 50 and you want to markup 50%, you must find 50% of 50 to find how much the item will go up by from 50.
So 50% of 50 means 50% times 50.
50%=.5 or 1/2
So .5(50)=25.
The item is going up by 25 dollars.
So we started at 50 dollars.
So 50+25 is going to be the new amount.
50+25=75 is the new amount.
