Mathematics

Tomtit [17]3 years ago

Answer:

Decrease of 28.6%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiplier for a increase of a% is 1 + a/100.

The multiplier for a decrease of b% is 1 - b/100.

Decrease of 15%

1 - 15/100 = 1 - 0.15 = 0.85

Decrease of 16%

1 - 16/100 = 1 - 0.16 = 0.84

Both:

0.85*0.84 = 0.714

Change:

The initial percentage is 100% = 1.

0.714 - 1 = -0.286

Negative, so a decrease

The answer is a decrease of 28.6%.

The new triangle is gonna be bigger. But how big? Let’s look at A.
A= 2,8

Look at A’, it’s 6,24. See a pattern??
Multiply 2,8 by 3. It’s triple the amount, therefore the scale factor is 3.

To double check, multiply by 3 to B and C and see what you get.

Bad White [126]
The total charge for Juan in the parking spot would be $2.25.

Since we know one of those 8 hours is 50 cents, we can multiply .25 by 7 which would give us 1.75. Then we know that the first hour, as stated above, is going to be .50, so we can add that to our total which is 2.25.

Hope this helps!
