Question

What single decimal multiplier would you use to increase by 9% followed by a 3% decrease?

Answer 1

Given:

increase by 9% and 3% decrease.

To find:

single decimal multiplier.

Solution:

1) The single decimal multiplier means that we have the single percentage for the given different percentage.

2) The single multiplier for x% and y% is given by the formula given below:

    P = x + y + xy/100

3) Basically this is the concept of the successive where we find the percentage over the percentage.

4) in the question we are given with +9% and -3%

so by formula we get.

• x + y + xy/100

• +9 - 3 - 9.3/100

• 6 - 0.27

• 5.73%

So the single multiplier for the +9% and -3% is 5.73%.

Answer 2

Answer:

1.0573

Step-by-step explanation:

what you have to do is:

1)9%+100%=109% because it says increase.

2)100%-3%=97%

3)Change both to a decimal so 1.09 and 0.97

4)Multiply them by eachother and you get 1.0573
