What is the decimal multiplier to increase by 3%?

Mathematics

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

Ms.Lopez has created a floor plan of a dollhouse. The area of the entire dollhouse is 576 square inches
harina [27]

Answer:

(a)Area of the bedroom=96 square inches

(b)Area of the living room =144 square inches

(c)Area of the dollhouse that is not of the bedroom or living room =336 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the bedroom is 1/6 the area of the entire dollhouse

The area of the living room is 3/2 times the area of the bedroom.

The area of the entire dollhouse is 576 square inches

Let the area of bedroom=b

Let the area of living room=l

(a) The area of the bedroom is 1/6 the area of the entire dollhouse

b=\frac{1}{6}X576=96 square inches

(b)The area, in square inches, of the living room

The area of the living room is 3/2 times the area of the bedroom

l= \frac{3}{2}X96=144 square inches

(c)The total area of the house =576 square inches

Area of the bedroom=96 square inches

Area of the living room =144 square inches

Area of the dollhouse that is not of the bedroom or living room

=576-(96+144)=576-240=336 square inches.

The area of the living room is 3/2 times the area of the bedroom

This is gotten by subtracting the area of the bedroom and living room from the total area of the house.

The legs of an isosceles triangle have lengths x + 1 and -x + 7 . The base has length 3x - 3. What is the length of the base?
In-s [12.5K]
Since you've told us that this is an isosceles triangle, we know that the 'legs' have equal length.  So we can write

                                                      x + 1 = -x + 7

Add 'x' to each side:                  2x + 1 =       7

Subtract  1  from each side:      2x       =       6

Divide each side by  2 :                x      =       3

Now, if the length of the base is   3x - 3 ,
that length is

                                   3(3) - 3  =  6  .
