Find the percent of increase to the nearest whole from 12 to 20
ankoles [38]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>67\%</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percentage increase we use the formula

<h3>Percentage \:   change =  \frac{change}{original \:  \: quantity}  \times 100\%</h3>

From the question

The original value = 12

To find the change we subtract the smaller value from the larger one

That's

Change = 20 - 12 = 8

So the percentage increase is

<h3>\frac{8}{12}  \times 100 \%\\  =  \frac{2}{3}  \times 100\% \\  = 66.67\%</h3>

We have the final answer as

67\% to the nearest whole number

Hope this helps you

One household is to be selected at random from a town. ​ ​The probability that ​the household has a cat is 0.20.2 . ​ ​The proba
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

There is a 50% probability that the household has a dog, given that the household has a ​cat.

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this problem building the Venn's diagram of these probabilities.

I am going to say that:

A is the probability that a household has a cat.

B is the probability that a household has a dog.

We have that:

A = a + (A \cap B)

In which a is the probability that a household has a cat but not a dog and A \cap B is the probability that a household has both a cat and a dog.

By the same logic, we have that:

B = b + (A \cap B)

The probability that the household has a cat or a dog is 0.5

a + b + (A \cap B) = 0.5

The probability that the household has a dog ​is 0.4

B = 0.4

B = b + (A \cap B)

b = 0.4 - (A \cap B)

The probability that ​the household has a cat is 0.2.

A = 0.2

A = a + (A \cap B)

a = 0.2 - (A \cap B)

So

a + b + (A \cap B) = 0.5

0.2 - (A \cap B) + 0.4 - (A \cap B) + (A \cap B) = 0.5

A \cap B = 0.1

What is ​the probability that the household has a dog, given that the household has a ​cat?

20% of the households have a cat, and 10% have both a cat and a dog. So

P = \frac{A \cap B}{A} = {0.1}{0.2} = 0.5

There is a 50% probability that the household has a dog, given that the household has a ​cat.

What is the percent change of 10 feet to 6 feet
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:It would be a decrease of 40 percent

Step-by-step explanation:You go from 10/10 to 6/10 meaning you decrease by 4/10 and 4/10 is the same as 40/100 and anything over 100 is its percent value so you would be going down by 40%
