Answer:
The single decimal multiplier is 1.0296.
Step-by-step explanation:
Multipliers:
For a decrease of a%, we multiply by: [tex]\frac{100-a}{100}[/tex]
For a increase of a%, we multiply by: [tex]\frac{100+a}{100}[/tex]
For consecutive changes, we multiply the multipliers.
Decrease of 1%
Multiplication by [tex]\frac{100-1}{100} = \frac{99}{100} = 0.99[/tex]
Increase of 4%
Multiplication by [tex]\frac{100+4}{100} = \frac{104}{100} = 1.04[/tex]
Consecutive:
0.99*1.04 = 1.0296
The single decimal multiplier is 1.0296.
