Sure, let's match the given growth and decay factors to their corresponding percentages:
1. 0.83 corresponds to a 17% decrease.
- This is because a decrease of 17% means you are left with 83% (or 0.83) of the original amount.
2. 1.17 corresponds to a 17% increase.
- This is because an increase of 17% means you end up with 117% (or 1.17) of the original amount.
3. 0.955 corresponds to a 4.5% decrease.
- This is because a decrease of 4.5% means you are left with 95.5% (or 0.955) of the original amount.
4. 0.91 corresponds to a 9% decrease.
- This is because a decrease of 9% means you are left with 91% (or 0.91) of the original amount.
5. 1.025 corresponds to a 2.5% increase.
- This is because an increase of 2.5% means you end up with 102.5% (or 1.025) of the original amount.
6. 0.56 corresponds to a 44% decrease.
- This is because a decrease of 44% means you are left with 56% (or 0.56) of the original amount.
7. 1.09 corresponds to a 9% increase.
- This is because an increase of 9% means you end up with 109% (or 1.09) of the original amount.
So, the matched pairs are:
- 17% decrease: 0.83
- 17% increase: 1.17
- 4.5% decrease: 0.955
- 9% decrease: 0.91
- 2.5% increase: 1.025
- 44% decrease: 0.56
- 9% increase: 1.09
