What single percentage change is equivalent to a 15% decrease followed by a 16% decrease?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Tomtit [17]3 years ago
8 0

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%.

when full the gas tank of a car holds 15 gallons. it now contains 12 gallons. what percent represents how full the tank is?
Masteriza [31]

Hello!

to find the percent of a whole, use this equation here:

(remaining) / (total) = X

X * 100 = %

in this case:

12 / 15 = 0.8

0.8 * 100 = 80

your answer is 80%

I hope this helps, and have a nice day!
