Answer:

55% increase

Step-by-step explanation:

First I want to say I recommend using sites like Calculator soup, and finding the option "percent increase calculator", for problems like these instead of wasting any points that you could use later on, and Secondly (happy to help), oof and third:

1) subtract the final value minus the starting value

279 - 180= 99

2) Divide that amount by the absolute value of the starting value

99 divided by 180 equals .55

3) Multiply by 100 to get percent increase

changes to 55.00 (final answer 55%)

4) If the percentage is negative, it means there was a decrease and not an increase.

Which statement about this product is true? 0.44×(-53/4)
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer with explanation:

The number whose product we have to find is,

0.44 \times \frac{-53}{4}\\\\=\frac{44}{100} \times \frac{-53}{4}\\\\=\frac{-53 \times 11}{100}\\\\=\frac{-583}{100}=-5.83

→Actual Product = -5.83

When, you will round it to nearest Hundredth it is equal to -6.

Now ⇒ starting from option A

0.44 when rounded to nearest whole number is equal to 0.

So,

0 \times\frac{-53}{4}=0

is not closer to actual Product which is -5.83.

⇒Option B  

0.44 when rounded up≠1

Incorrect Statement

⇒Option C

-5.83, is not greater than -3.

Incorrect Statement

⇒Option D

True Statement

It is less than \frac{-53}{4} because multiplying a rational number by a number less than 1 gives a smaller number.
