What single percentage change is equivalent to a 15% decrease followed by a 16% decrease?

1 answer:

7 0

Decrease of 28.6%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiplier for a increase of a% is 1 + a/100.

The multiplier for a decrease of b% is 1 - b/100.

Decrease of 15%

1- 15/100 = 1- 0.15 = 0.85

Decrease of 16%

1- 16/100 = 1 - 0.16 = 0.84

Both:

0.85*0.84 = 0.714

Change:

The initial percentage is 100% = 1.

0.714 - 1 = -0.286

Negative, so a decrease

The answer is a decrease of 28.6%.

Find the value of x

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

Last Option

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a triangle and we know its three sides.

We want to find one of your anguos. Then we use the cosine theorem.

$c ^ 2 = a ^ 2 + b ^ 2 -2abcosx$

Where

$c = 14\\a = 11\\b = 19$

Now we solve for x from the equation

$c ^ 2 = a ^ 2 + b ^ 2 -2abcosx\\\\\\14^2 = 11^2 + 19^2 -2(11)(19)cosx\\\\14^2 -11^2 -19^2 = 2(11)(19)cosx\\\\-286=2(11)(19)cosx\\\\cosx = \frac{-286}{2(11)(19)}\\\\x = arcos(\frac{-286}{2(11)(19)})\\\\x = 46.8\°$
