240 decreased 15% find percent and total amount

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.

Seven-ninths of the pencils in a box are yellow. Three-tenths of the yellow pencils are sharpened. What fraction represents the
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

7/30

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Seven-ninths (7/9) of the pencils in a box are yellow and three-tenths (3/10) of the yellow pencils are sharpened.

To find the fraction that represents sharpened yellow pencils, we find the product of the the fraction of yellow pencils and the fraction of yellow pencils that are sharpened.

That is:

=> (7 / 9) * (3 / 10)

=(7 * 3) / (9 * 10)

= 21 / 90

= 7 / 30

7/30 represents the fraction of sharpened yellow pencils.

         A = 2(32)   + 2(24)   + 2(12)

         A = 64 + 48 + 24

Voting An appropriations bill passes the U.S. House of Representatives with 49 more members voting in favor than against. If all
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

242 members voted in favor while 193 members voted against

Step-by-step explanation:

Let those that voted against be x will those in favor will be (x+49)

Since today number of voters is 435

To find x

X + (x+49) = 435

2x + 49 = 435

2x = 435 - 49

2x = 386

X = 386/2

X = 193

Therefore, those against is 193 while this in favor is 193+49 = 242

Solution:

<4 and <5 are angles in a straight line, therefore:

m<4 + m<5 = 180°
