A 100% increase followed by a 50% decrease

Answer:

We end up with our original number

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be our number

We increase by 100

increase = old number * 100%

increase = x*1

increase = x

New number = old number + increase

                       = x+x

                         =2x

Now we decrease by 50%

decrease = number *50%

                = 2x*.5

                =x

Final number = new number - decrease

                       = 2x-x

                         =x

How do i solve this​
Sophie [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

You're given that ΔUVW is similar to ΔYZW.  The tricky part is identifying which sides in ΔUVW correspond to which sides in ΔYZW.

The triangles share point W, so visually rotate one triangle around W until the two triangles align.  That way, you can see that UW and ZW correspond to each other, and VW and YW correspond to each other.

Now you can find the scale:

VW / YW = 5/12

And you can write a proportion to find x:

UW / ZW = VW / YW

x / 64 = 5 / 12

x = 26 ⅔

how much of each ingredient would you make an identical recipe that serves 24 people? explain your answer
Assoli18 [71]
Ok, so increasing a recipe originally for 16 to 24, you need to figure out how many times larger you need the recipe, so divide 24 by 16, and you get 1.5 (one and a half times larger)
You then just need to take each ingredient amount and multiply it by 1.5
2 cans chopped clams x 1.5 = 3 cans
4 cups broth x 1.5 = 6 cups
6 cups milk x 1.5 = 9 cups
4 cups cubed potatoes x 1.5 = 6 cups
Does this make sense?
