240 decreased 15% find percent and total amount

1 answer:

7 0

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.

Estimate 63.730+ 32.73 by first rounding each number to the nearest whole number

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Round each number to the nearest whole number (the digit directly left to the decimal point.) Note that if the digit to the right of the decimal point is 5 or greater, round up; if it is 4 or lower, round down:

63.730 rounded to the nearest one is 64.

32.73 rounded to the nearest one is 33.

Add:

64 + 33 = 97

97 is your answer.
