Answer:

61.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

% increase in the number : 7

Thus , actual increase in number will be 7% of x = 7/100 of x = 7x/100

Thus, new number with 7% increase = x+ 7x/100

given that value of new number with 7% increase is 66

Thus,

x+ 7x/100 = 66

=> (100x+7x)/100 = 66

=> 107 x = 66*100

=> x = 6600/107 = 61.682

Thus, original number is 61.682

but we have to find the number to nearest tenth .

original number is 61.7

root1=(-b+(delta^(0.5)))/(2*a)
root2=(-b-(delta^(0.5)))/(2*a)

delta =153
root1 = -0.8423
root2 = 5.3423

The value of a house decreases at a steady rate of 20% each year. What is the total percentage loss (to the nearest integer) in

Westkost [7]

Answer: The total percentage loss would be 67%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Rate of decline each year = 20%

Number of years = 5

We need to find the total percentage loss in value of the house at the end of 5 years.

So, Total percentage loss would be

$1-(1-\dfrac{r}{100})^5\\\\=1-(1-\dfrac{20}{100})^5\\\\=1-(\dfrac{4}{5})^5\\\\=1-(0.8)^5\\\\=0.67\\\\\approx 67%$

Hence, the total percentage loss would be 67%.
