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

What is the distance between points (5, 13)
horrorfan [7]

You are going to treat this as a triangle so one side is 13 units long and the other is 22. And using the pythagorean theorem a²+b²=c².

13²+22²=c²

169+484=c²

653=c²

√653=√c²

25.55386...=c

Or, rounded to the nearest hundredth, 25.55

A two-digit locker combination has two nonzero digits and no digit is repeated in any combination.
zzz [600]

Answer:

Answer choice C

Step-by-step explanation:

Similarly to the previous problem, there are two possibilities. In the first possibility, the chance of picking a digit lower than 7 is 6/9 or 2/3, because there are 6 digits below 7 and 9 digits in total. In this scenario, the probability of the second digit being below 7 is 5/8, since one of the digits has already been taken. The probability here is 5/8*6/9=5/12. In the other scenario, the probability of picking a number higher than 7 is 3/9 or 1/3. In this scenario, the probability of picking below 7 for the second digit is 6/8 or 3/4, because one of the digits has not been taken. 3/9*6/8= 1/4. Adding these two together, you get 8/12=2/3, or answer choice C. Hope this helps!
