If you want to increase something by 3%, you would ADD 100% to it, so:
3% + 100% = 103%
Then you divide it by 100 to turn it into a decimal, so:
103% / 100 = 1.03
So to increase by 3%, the multiplier would be 1.03
If you wanted to decrease by 3%, you would SUBTRACT 100% from 3%, so:
100% - 3% = 97%
And then you would divide 97% by 100 to turn it into a decimal (multiplier), so:
97% / 100 = 0.97
So to decrease by 3%, the multiplier would be 0.97
I'd say, 1 and 1/2 cup, if you split it in half.
1. To solve this exercise, you must use the "Intersecting chords theorem".
2. You have that:
AP=3.5 in
PC=6 in
DP=4 in
3. Then, by applying the "Intersecting chord theorem", you have:
(AP)(PC)=(BP)(DP)
4. When you substitute the values into (AP)(PC)=(BP)(DP), you obtain:
(3.5 in)(6 in)/BP(4 in)
5. Now, you must clear BP. Then:
(3.5 in)(6 in)/4 in=BP
21 in^2/4 in=BP
6. Therefore, the value of BP is:
BP=5.25 in
So you types 8x3 then you add. This is because you use PEMDAS on these type of problems
