What single decimal multiplier would you use to increase by 14% followed by a 1% decrease?

1.1286

Step-by-step explanation:

Increasing something by 14% is the same as taking 114% of it, and decreasing it by 1% is the same as taking 99% of it. 114% is 1.14 as a decimal, and 99% is 0.99 as a decimal, so multiplying the two together, we get the single decimal

1.14 · 0.99 = 1.1286

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Find two corresponding sides that have lengths.

24 in Figure 1 corresponds to 8 in Figure 2.

Divide the length in Figure 2 by the corresponding length in Figure 1.

scale factor = (length in Figure 2)/(corresponding length in Figure 1)

scale factor = 8/24

scale factor = 1/3
