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.

* ANSWER PLS TY!! * Find the surface area of this cone.
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

<h2>200 \: \pi</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

R = 8 m

H = 15 m

Slant height :

=  \sqrt{ {r}^{2}  +  {h}^{2} }

=  \sqrt{ {(8)}^{2} +  {(15)}^{2}  }

=  \sqrt{64 + 225}

=  \sqrt{289}

=  \sqrt{ {(17)}^{2} }

= 17 \: m

Now, Finding the surface area of the cone:

\pi \: r(r + s)

Plugging the values:

= \pi \:  \times 8(8 + 17)

= 8\pi \:  \times 25

= 200 \: \pi

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment...
