Lets find out...
our fraction is 1/2.....
when the numerator is increased by 20%......1 + 0.20(1) = 1.2
when the denominator is increased by 50%....2 + 0.50(2) = 3
1/2 = 0.5....original fraction
1.2 / 3 = 0.4.....increased fraction
decrease = (original number - new number) / original number...* 100
= (0.5 - 0.4) / 0.5...* 100
= (0.1 / 0.5)....* 100
= 0.2 * 100
= 20% decrease <====
Answer:
0.70p
Step-by-step explanation:
"30% off" means paying only 70% of the original sales price (subtracting 30% from 100% yields 70%). Next, find the decimal equivalent of 70%:
It is 0.70. Finally, multiply the price p by 0.70: 0.70p (Answer b)
