x = 2

By what percent will the product of two numbers decrease if one of them is decreased by 25% and the other one is decreased by 50
olchik [2.2K]
Well, let's say the numbers are "a" and "b"

so a * b = ab

ok... now, if we reduce "a" by 25%, that means the new size is just 75% of the old one, how much is 75% of a? well, (75/100) * a, or 0.75a

now let's reduce "b" by 50%, that means the new size is 50% or half,  how much is 50% of b? well (50/100)*b, or 0.5b

\bf \begin{cases}
a\cdot b\implies  ab\\
0.75a\cdot 0.5b\\
\qquad 0.75\cdot 0.5ab\\
\qquad 0.375ab
\end{cases}

now, the new size of "ab" is just 0.375ab... well, let's revert the decimal format by simply multiplying by 100

0.375 * 100, is 37.5%

the new size of "ab" is just 37.5% of the original "ab"

it decreased by 100 - 37.5 or 62.5%

A triangle has one side measuring 16 inches and two sides measuring 13 inches. Is this triangle scalene?
nadya68 [22]

No, because a scalene triangle has to have all sides that are different lengths. 2 sides being 13 inches would mean that the triangle has 2 sides that are equal, making it an isosceles triangle.
