Answer 1

0.9 represents percent of the original price, G, as decimal that Ray pays for the ginger roots.

Explanation:

We have been given that the price of the ginger roots is G. Ray has a coupon for 10% off. The expression
`0.9G` represents the price Ray pays for the ginger roots after using the coupon.

Since Ray has a coupon 10% off, so the price of the ginger roots will be 90% of G as 100% minus 10% equals 90%.

0.9 represent 90% of G that is:

`90\%\text{ of }G=(90)/(100)* G=0.9G`

Therefore, 0.9 represents percent of the original price, G, as decimal that Ray pays for the ginger roots.

Answer 2

Answer: 0.9 is the decreasing factor.

Explanation:

Here, The price of the ginger roots is G .

And, It there occurs the 10% off on this amount then,

The new price of the ginger is 90% of G.

That is, Final price of G =
`(90* G)/(100)`

=
`0.9* G`

= 0.9G

Since, 0.9 decreases the price of the ginger.

Therefore, It is called decreasing factor for the function which represents the price of the ginger.
