<span>Answer:
The multiplication factor of increase should be inverse of the multiplication factor of decrease.
e.g. Say you have a number 100.
You increase it by 25%. The multiplication factor is 5/4 i.e. when you multiply 100 by 5/4, you get 100*5/4 = 125. This is 25% more than 100.
Now you want to decrease it by a certain % such that you get 100 back.
Basically, 100*5/4 * x = 100
So x = 4/5 (inverse of 5/4)
Hence, you decrease by 20% (the multiplication factor of 20% is 4/5)
or
Use this formula: cumulative % change = a + b + ab/100
You want the cumulative change to be 0.
a + b + ab/100 = 0
If you know that you are increasing by 25% and want to find the % by which you should decrease to get the same number,
25 + b + 25b/100 = 0
5b/4 = -25
b = -20
So you need to decrease (hence you get the -ve sign) by 20%.</span>
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhggggg
3 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 8, which is the amount of sweaters.
The probability of a brown sweater is 2 / 8 = 0.25
And the probability of a green sweater is 1 / 8 = 0.125.
Multiply the two probabilities together to get the probability of choosing brown then green:
0.25 * 0.125 = 0.03125.
To convert a decimal to fraction, you multiply the numerator and denominator, or in this case
by 1000 which gets
Which can be simplified to:
.
Hope this helps.
