Question

What single decimal multiplier would you use to decrease by 6% followed by a 9% decrease? Please answer this properly. Thanks

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To increase or decrease an amount by a percentage, first calculate the percentage of the amount and then either add this answer on to increase the quantity, or subtract this answer to decrease the quantity. There is more than one way to find the percentage of an amount.

Examples

Increase £50 by 8%.

Using the multiplying method, first find 8% of £50:

\frac{8}{100} \times 50 = \frac{8}{100} \times \frac{50}{1} = \frac{400}{100} = 4

8% of £50 is £4, so to increase £50 by 8%, add the £4 onto the £50, which is £54.

Decrease 72 kg by 40%.

Using the 10% method, first find 40% of 72 kg:

10% = 72 \div 10 = 7.2

10% = 7.2, so 40% = 7.2 \times 4 = 28.8
