We would never, ever accuse any advertisers of being deceptive (wink wink), but let's just say that it's not uncommon for percents to be used incorrectly in marketing materials. Let's look at one such case to close our review of percents. 11. A department store advertised that certain merchandise was reduced 25%. Also, an additional 10% discount card would be given to the first 200 people who entered the store on a specific day. The advertisement then stated that this amounted to a 35% reduction in the price of an item. Explain why the store marketing manager is either a liar or bad at math. Show calculations to back up your explanation. 12. In promotional materials, a company that increased their work force from 1,000 to 1,500 workers claimed that they hired 50% more workers. A rival of theirs bragged about decreasing emissions from 1,500 to 1,000 cubic feet per day, claim- ing a 33% reduction. Which company is lying? Explain. nielqxe Quoy of themizoval shed s wlil abuse foldW senstoni moonon Beroogzo andi
