Answer: 0.85</h3>
Explanation:
If we start off with $100 and decrease by 15%, then we are decreasing by $15 since 15% of 100 = 0.15*100 = 15
We start with $100 and drop to 100-15 = 85. Dividing this over the original 100 gets us 85/100 = 0.85
Put another way, 100% - 15% = 1 - 0.15 = 0.85
The decimal multiplier for "decrease by 15%" is 0.85; this sort of thing is useful if you wish to apply multiple discounts to a product.
Side note: the 0.85 can be thought of as 85%, so the product's new value is 85% of its original value
Answer:
The associative property of integers does not hold true for subtraction and division of integers, as, in the case of subtraction and division, the order of the numbers is important and cannot be changed.
Step-by-step explanation:
For example, 2 - (8 - 9) = 2 - (-1) = 3. Now, if we change the order as 8 - (2 - 9) = 8 - (-7) = 15
