What multiplier would you use to find each of these percentage decreases?
1. 10%
2. 30%
3. 5%
4. 85%
To find the multiplier for a percentage decrease, you can subtract the percentage from 100 and then divide by 100. Let's calculate the multipliers for each percentage decrease:
1. For a 10% decrease:
Multiplier = (100 - 10) / 100 = 0.9
2. For a 30% decrease:
Multiplier = (100 - 30) / 100 = 0.7
3. For a 5% decrease:
Multiplier = (100 - 5) / 100 = 0.95
4. For an 85% decrease:
Multiplier = (100 - 85) / 100 = 0.15
To find the multiplier for each percentage decrease, you can use the following formulas:
1. For a 10% decrease, the multiplier would be 1 - (10/100) = 0.9.
2. For a 30% decrease, the multiplier would be 1 - (30/100) = 0.7.
3. For a 5% decrease, the multiplier would be 1 - (5/100) = 0.95.
4. For an 85% decrease, the multiplier would be 1 - (85/100) = 0.15.
