Multiply by .96 and your answer should be given

serg [7]3 years ago

If you decrease something by 4 percent,

you are  keeping (100% - 4%) or 96% of the original

so multiply by the original amount by 96 percent or .96


If you have 100 pennies, and you  give 4 away ( 4 percent decrease), you still have 96 pennies.  You are keeping 96 percent of what you started with.  This works no matter how much you start with.


Example:


you have 40 dollars

4% decrease

40 * .04 =  1.6 take this away

40 - 1.6 = 38.4 left

you keep 96 percent

40 * .96 = 38.4 left

Find the value of 2^-3*3^-2
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

2^{-3}\cdot 3^{-2}

2^-3=\frac{1}{2^3}

3^-2=\frac{1}{3^2}

\frac{1}{2^3}*\frac{1}{3^2}

\frac{1*1}{2^3*3^2}

2^3*3^2=72

=\frac{1}{72}

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

2y+8×=2 identify the table that would correctly graph this equation
lys-0071 [83]

We have

2y+8x=2

In order to obtain easily the table, we need to clear y

\begin{gathered} 2y=-8x+2 \\ y=\frac{-8x+2}{2} \\ y=-4x+1 \end{gathered}

then we evaluate for values of x

if x=0

y=-4(0)+1=1

y=1

if x=1

y=-4(1)+1=-3

y=3

if x=2

y=-4(2)+1=-7

y=-7

if x=3

y=-4(3)+1=-11

y=-11

So the table for the given equation is

x y

0 1

1 -3

2 -7

3 -11
