<h3>Answer:  0.9999</h3>

Explanation:

Having a 1% increase means we go from 100% to 100%+1% = 101% which converts to the decimal form 1.01; note how you move the decimal point two spots to the left to go from 101% to 1.01

A 1% decrease means we go from 100% to 100%-1% = 99% = 0.99

Multiplying 1.01 and 0.99 leads to 1.01*0.99 = 0.9999

Since 0.9999 = 99.99%, this means we have a 100% - 99.99% = 0.01% decrease overall.

Note: the order of the decrease and increase doesn't matter. You could do the decrease first, then the increase, or vice versa.

A dealer buys oranges for 100000, he sold 60% of them for buying price, he sold 50% of the remaining for profit of 60% then he s
suter [353]

Based on the amount of oranges bought, those sold at a profit and those sold at a loss, the overall profit is 14.2%

<h3>What is the overall profit?</h3>

Assume that the buying price was $1 each.

The amount earned from 60% of them is:

= 60% x 100,000 x 1

= $60,000

The profit from selling 50% of the remaining is:

= (50% x 40,000) x 1.60

= $32,000

The loss from selling the other 50%:

= (50% x 40,000) x 0.90

= $22,222.22

Total selling price:

= 60,000 + 32,000 + 22,222.22

= $114,222.22

Total profit:

= (114,222.22 - 100,000) / 100,000

= 14.2%

The sum of two numbers is 21.
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Pretend that x and y represents the 2 numbers that we need to find.

According to the information, we know that:

x + y = 21

6x = y

Replace y in the first equation with 6x (because they are equal to each other according to the second equation):

x + y = 21

x + 6x = 21

7x = 21

x = 21/7 = 3

Now have two ways to find y, both will give us the same result:

3 + y = 21 ⇔ y = 21 - 3 = 18

6 · 3 = y ⇔ y = 18

So the numbers that we need to find are 3 and 18.
