Mathematics
1 answer:
n200080 [17]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

3.68% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

12% increase = 112% of the original value

112% as a decimal = 112/100 = 1.12

14% decrease = 100% - 14% = 86% of the original value

86% as a decimal = 86/100 = 0.86

Therefore, if you increase the number n by 12% and then decrease by 14%:

n × 1.12 × 0.86 = n × 0.9632

0.9632 as a percentage = 0.9632 × 100 = 96.32%

Therefore, the overall percentage change is 100% - 96.32% = 3.68% decrease

Which statement best describes a graph of paired points that form a proportional relationship?
Akimi4 [234]
It's B) A straight line can be drawn through all the points and the line passes through the point (0,0)

This is because in the problem it says that the points are paired and proportional. For example, say you're given the point (3,6). To make this a proportional relationship, you'd have another point in the third quadrant: (-3,-6). When you draw a line from one of these points to the other, it passes through the origin.
