What single decimal multiplier would you use to increase by 18% followed by a<br> 12% decrease?
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

The single decimal multiplier used to increase by 18% followed by a  12% decrease is 0.21.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' be the number

As first the number has to be increased by 18%

so

Step 1: write the percentage '18%' in decimal form

18% = 0.18    

Step 2: For percentage increases: add the decimal to 1

1 + 0.18 = 1.18    

Step 3: Multiply the number x by the multiplier, found in Step 2

x × 1.18 = 1.18x

<u><em>NEXT WE HAVE TO DECREASE 1.18x by 12%</em></u>

Apply the same method but with a number 1.18x

  • Write the percentage '12%' in decimal form

12% = 0.12

  • For percentage decreases: subtract the decimal to 1

1 - 0.18 = 0.18

  • Multiply the number 1.18x by the multiplier, found in Previous step

1.18x × 0.18 = 0.21x

Therefore, the single decimal multiplier used to increase by 18% followed by a  12% decrease is 0.21.
