Answer:

10% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for percent change is:

\frac{\textrm{New}-\textrm{Old}}{\textrm{Old}} \times 100

Therefore, for this example:

\frac{\textrm{New}-\textrm{Old}}{\textrm{Old}} \times 100=\frac{135-150}{150} \times 100=-10\%

The negative value indicates that the change was a decrease. Therefore, there was a 10% decrease.

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

A batch of 20 semiconductor chips is inspected by choosing a sample of 3 chips. Assume 10 of the chips do not conform to customer requirements.

a) Number of different samples = 20C3 =  \frac{20!}{3!(17!)} =1140

b) 2 good and one bad chip

Number of samples = 10C2 * 10C1 = 45 * 10 =450

c) 2 good 1 bad + 1 good 2 bad + 3 bad

Number of samples = 10C2 * 10C1 + 10C1 * 10C2 + 10C3

= 450+450+120=1020

Tiffany buys a basket of watermelons on sale for \$9$9dollar sign, 9 before tax. The sales tax is 9\%9%9, percent.
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

<em>Tiffany pays a total price of $9.81 for the basket of watermelons</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Percentages</u>

To increase a certain amount by a given percentage, we can first calculate the increasing amount and then add it to the original amount.

If the price of the basket of watermelons was $9 before tax, and the sales tax is 9%, we first calculate the tax amount to pay:

$9 * 9 / 100 = $0.81

Now we add it to $9 to get the total price paid by Tiffany:

Total price = $9 + $0.81 = $9.81

Tiffany pays a total price of $9.81 for the basket of watermelons
