To decrease an amount by 4% what single multiplier would u use ? ? płś hêłp it’s ment to be easy but i just don’t get it 10points

If you decrease something by 4 percent,

you are  keeping (100% - 4%) or 96% of the original

so multiply by the original amount by 96 percent or .96

If you have 100 pennies, and you  give 4 away ( 4 percent decrease), you still have 96 pennies.  You are keeping 96 percent of what you started with.  This works no matter how much you start with.

Example:

you have 40 dollars

4% decrease

40 * .04 =  1.6 take this away

40 - 1.6 = 38.4 left

you keep 96 percent

40 * .96 = 38.4 left

the answer is:

the answer is:

to solve the problem, we need to remember the quotient of power property, it's defined by the following relation:

if we have a quotienf of powers that have the same base, we need to keep the same base and subtract the exponent of the denominator power to the exponent of the numerator power.

so, we are given the expression:

then, calculating we have:

hence, the answer is:

have a nice day!
