We have for example 2 numbers, a and b, and their product, number c.
So,
c = a * b
If value of a is increased by 30 percent, it means that the new value will be old value plus 30 percent of the value; so new value is:
a1 = a + 30% * a
If we elaborate this equation, we get:
a1 = a + 30/100 * a, i.e.:
a1 = 100/100 * a + 30/100 * a, i.e.:
a1 = (100+30)/100 * a, i.e.:
a1 = 130/100 * a .
Same for other number b:
It its value is increased by 20 percent, it means that the new value will be old value plus 20 percent of the value:
b1 will be the notation for the new value, and b is the old value
b1 = b + 20% * b
b1 = 120% * b
b1 = 120/100 * b
-------------------------------------
When wanting to multiply a1 with b1, we get:
c1 = a1 * b1
c1 = 130/100 * a * 120/100 * b
When reducing fractions, we get:
c1 = 13/10 * a * 12/10 * b
When multiplying free numbers and move the order of a and b, we get:
c1 = (13*12)/(10*10)*a*b
c1 = 156/100 * a * b
-> a * b is c (c = a * b), so:
c1 = 156% * c
c1 = (100 + 56)% * c
Which means that the value of c is increased by 56%.

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

B. 35%

Step-by-step explanation:

P(winning $1.00)=40%

P(winning $5.00)=20%

P(winning $10.00)=5%

In a probability distribution, the sum of the probability must always be equal to 1.

Therefore:

P(winning $0.00)=1-(40%+20%+5%)

=1-(0.4+0.2+0.05)

=1-0.65

=0.35

The probability of winning nothing at all is 35%.

6 students want lemonade and 12 students
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

2:1

Step-by-step explanation:

well we show ratio by the sign ' : '

ratio of iced tea to lemonade= 12:6

now we reduce it to minimum by dividing it with same number.

12 is divisible by 6

so,

the reduced form is = 2:1

therefore,

ratio of the  number of students who want iced tea to the  number of students who want lemonade = 2:1.
