Answer:
<u>After a 75% increase, it would become</u>
x + 75%x = x + 0.75x = x(1 + 0.75) = 1.75x
<u>After a 50% decrease, it would become</u>
1.75x - 50%(1.75x) = 1.75x - 0.5(1.75x) = 1.75x - 0.875x = 0.875x = 
Because is less than x, the new amount would be less than the original.
Answer:
4/663
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 4 queens and 4 kings in a deck. Drawing a queen would be 4/52. Drawing a king afterwards with replacing the queen would be 4/51 because you took a queen but didn't replace that one queen card so the deck has only 51 cards left after you drew the queen. Drawing a queen would not affect your chance of drawing a king card, it will only affect the total number of cards left because you didn't replace the card afterwards. 4*4=16;52*51=2652. 16/2652 can be simplified to 4/663 by dividing 4 to both numbers. 16/4=4 and 2652/4=663. The probability of drawing a queen then a king without replacement would be 4/663.
