Answer:

2%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the first number

It increases by 70 %

The new number is

m = x+ .70x

   = 1.7x

Let y be the second number

It decreases by 40 %

The new number is

n =y - .40 y

  = .6y


The product of the original numbers is xy

The product of the new number is

mn = (1.7x * .6y) = 1.02xy

The new number is larger than the old number so it is an increase.

Percent increase is  new - original divided by original  times 100%

Percent increase = (1.02 xy - xy)

                                -----------------  * 100%

                                 xy  

                           = .02 xy

                                ------- * 100 %

                                 xy  

                            = .02 * 100 %

                             = 2%

Answer:

30°

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle given sides a and b and angle C is:

area = (ab × sin C)/2

Here we are given sides a and c, and we are looking for angle B, so we have

area = ac × sin B

12 cm² = [(8 cm)(6 cm)(sin B)]/2

24 = 48sin B

sin B = 0.5

B = 30°
