240 decreased 15% find percent and total amount

Mathematics

Doss [256]4 years ago

Hello!

"Decrease" means to take away, so subtraction would be used here.

We must find out 15% of 240 is, and to do that we will convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100, and then multiply the decimal by 240.

^ I know, that's probably a lot to take in at once! :D

15% ÷ 100 = 0.15

240 × 0.15 = 36

Now that we know what 15% is, we must subtract it:

240 - 36 = 204

Final Answer:

204 is the total amount after a 15% decrease.

Can anyone help me refresh my mind?!
Nuetrik [128]
That is correct. The log3 stays the same and the numerator goes first and then the denominator goes second. When it’s a fraction like that one, the standard form would be subtraction.

QUESTION in the diagram below the following are rectangles. ACEG ;BCDJ ; JDEF and HJFG is a square AB =AH = x ;BC=5 ; HG=3 Area
White raven [17]

The area of the rectangle ACEG is the amount of space on it, and the area of square HJFG is 9 square units

<h3>How to determine the area of the figures?</h3>

The area of a rectangle is:

Area = Length * Width

The area of a square is:

Area = Length * Length

From the question, the given parameters are:

AB =AH = x ;

BC=5;

HG=3

This means that the area of square HJFG is:

Area = HG * HG

Area = 3 * 3

Area = 9

<em>Note that the other areas cannot be calculated because the question is incomplete</em>
