Decrease £28 by 7%? im stuck on my homework

Mathematics
1 answer:
Murljashka [212]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

   £26.04

Step-by-step explanation:

The long way is to figure 7% of £28, then decrease that quantity by the amount you figured.

  0.07 ×  £28 =  £1.96

  £28 - 1.96 =  £26.04

__

I prefer to realize that the 100% of the value, decreased by 7%, will be 93% of the value. Then only one calculator operation is required.

  0.93 ×  £28 = £26.04

_____

<em>Comment on percent</em>

Some folks get confused by percents. "Percent" essentially means "per hundred". The symbol % is a shorthand way to write /100, which means exactly the same thing. That is, 7% = 7/100 = 0.07. (Similarly, ‰ is a shorthand way to write /1000.)

<em>Comment on percentage increase or decrease</em>

When you're talking about a quantity decreased by some amount, as "£28 decreased by £7",  you mean the value £7 is subtracted. When you say "decreased by 7%", the interpretation is different. We don't mean that £28 is decreased by 0.07 (to give £27.93); rather we mean £28 is decreased by 7% of £28. That is 7% of £28 is subtracted from £28.

Xander spends most of his time with his 10 closest friends. he has known 4 of his 10 friends since kindergarten. if he is going
Mademuasel [1]

Probability that the first 2 of the friends to show up to the movie are friends he has known since kindergarten but the third not is 1/10

Total friends = 10

Friends from kindergarten = 4

Probability is the chance that a given event will occur. Probability of an event lies within 0 to 1

P(E) = Favourable outcomes / Total outcomes

Probability of getting 1st friend from kindergarten = 4/10

Probability of getting 2nd friend from kindergarten = 3/9

Probability of getting 3rd friend not from kindergarten = 6/8

Since all these probabilities are independent, We can use Multiplicative identity.  Thus,

Required probability is 4/10 * 3/9 * 6/8

= 1/10

Thus, Probability that the first 2 of the friends to show up to the movie are friends he has known since kindergarten but the third not is 1/10
