What is the decimal multiplier to increase by 3%?

Mathematics

nlexa [21]3 years ago
7 0
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

How do I write this expression:The quantity seven plus Z, squared
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

  (7+Z)²

Step-by-step explanation:

A less ambiguous way to describe the quantity might be "the square of the quantity seven plus Z".

As it is, we rely on the presence of the comma to tell us that the quantity to be squared is (7+Z). If the comma were not present, we would assume you want to add 7 to the square of Z: 7+Z².

  the quantity 7 plus Z: (7+Z)

  that quantity squared: (7+Z)²
