Answer:

I would choose a coin from the case containing half gold coins and half silver coins, because if you get a gold coin then you are going to know the chest only contains cold coins.

Answer:

Percentage increases and decreases, are found by setting the problem up proportionally.

 

You are trying to find what percentage of 17.37 is 8.30 first.

 

so What %/100 = 8.30/17.37

 

Now define a variable:

 

Let x = What%  

 

x/100 = 8.30/17.37

17.37x = 830

x = 830/17.37

x ≈ 47.78

 

8.30 is approximately 47.78% of 17.37, so the percentage decrease is 100% - 47.78% = 52.22%

The percentage decrease is approximately 52.22%
