How to convert percent increase or decrease into a multiplier

Mathematics
1 answer:
ankoles [38]3 years ago
3 0
In case of an increase use this formula
mutiplier = 1 + \frac{\%}{100}
So if the percentage of increase of 6%, the multiplier will be
1 + \frac{6}{100} = 1.06

In case of a decrease, the formula is mostly the same.
mutiplier = 1 - \frac{\%}{100}
So if the percentage of decrease is 6%, the multiplier will be
1 - \frac{6}{100} = 0.94

-1 + 1.9x = -6.4 + 9.2x
natka813 [3]

Answer:

0.74

Step-by-step explanation:

We can isolate x, getting 9.2x - 1.9x = -1 + 6.4

We can then simplify, getting 7.3x = 5.4, which we can solve by dividing both sides by 7.3:

x = 5.4 / 7.3 = 0.74

The area in square feet of a rectangular field is x^2-100x+2400. The width, in feet is x-40. What is the length, in feet?
sattari [20]

Answer:

x-60

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to factor out the quadratic.

You know that one of the factors is x-40.

To factor:

Find a number that when added to -40, gives you -100, and also when multiplied, gives you 2400.

That such number is -60.

Add an x before it, and you get (x-60)

Suppose that in a random selection of 100 colored​ candies, 26​% of them are blue. The candy company claims that the percentage
quester [9]

Answer:  a) -0.2252, b) 0.8219

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Sample size n = 100

Probability that candies are blue = p= 0.26

Probability that company claims that it is blue candy = P = 0.27

So, Q = 1-P= 1-0.27 = 0.73

So, Null hypothesis : H_0:p=P

Alternate hypothesis : H_1:p\neq P

So, the test statistic would be

z=\dfrac{p-P}{\sqrt{\dfrac{P.Q}{n}}}\\\\z=\dfrac{0.26-0.27}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.27\times 0.73}{100}}}\\\\z=-0.2252

Since α = 0.05

So, critical value of z = 1.96

p-value = P(Z>Z(calculated)

Using the excel function , we get that

P(z>0.2252)\\\\=2\times 0.410.911845\\\\=0.8219

Hence, a) -0.2252, b) 0.8219

April is an avid chess player. She sets up a coordinate system on her chess board so she can record the position of the pieces d
NemiM [27]

Answer:

6.7

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to calculate the distance between two points in the XY coordinate plane.

The formula to calculate this distance is:

d = sqrt(dx^2 + dy^2)

where dx is the difference between the X coordinate of the points, dy is the difference between the Y coordinate of the points, and d is the distance.

(sqrt is the square root of what is in the parenthesis)

The first point (April's king) has X=4 and Y=2, the second point (the opponent's king) has X=7 and Y=8.

So, we have that dx = 4-7 = -3 and dy = 2-8 = -6

Now, we calculate the distance:

d = sqrt[ (-3)^2 + (-6)^2 ] = sqrt(9+36) = sqrt(45) = 6.7082 = 6.7
