Question

Brian has reduced his cholesterol level by 14% after his last check up. If his original level was 280, what is his approximate cholesterol level now?

Answer 1

Answer:241

Step-by-step explanation:

Reduction in cholesterol level = 14%

Original level = 280

To find the approximate cholesterol level now , all we need do is to reduce 280 by 14% , that is we will find 86% of 280.

⇒ 86/100 x 280

= 0.86 x 280

= 240.8

≈ 241

Therefore : the approximate cholesterol level now  = 241
