That's a question about percentage.
Let's imagine that we want to know how much is 90% of 200. To do this calculation, we should multiply 200 by 90 and then divide the result by 100. We do that because 90% is the same thing that . So, 90% of 200 is equal to:
Now, imagine that you would like to know how much is 100% of 999. First, we multiply 999 by 100 and divide the result by 999. So, 100% of a number is equal to itself. That's a very important information, because it's possible to understand this:
- If the percentage is less than 100%, the result is less than original number.
- If the percentage is equal to 100%, the result is equal to the original number.
- If the percentage is greater than 100%, the result is greater than original number.
Now, we can solve our problem! \o/
The options that the percentage is less than 100% are: 35% of 300, 62% of 182 and 89% of 525. Therefore, their answers will be less than the original number.
And, the option that the percentage is greater than 100% are: 250% of 18, 300% of 250 and 120% of 72. So, their answers will be greater than the original number.
On the image, you can see the answer in a table.
I hope I've helped. ^^
Enjoy your studies! \o/
There are a variety of methods of performing this subtraction, and corresponding different methods of regrouping.
If you're taught (as I was) to do the subtraction right-to-left, then the first regrouping you need to do is when you try to subtract 500 from 100. You must regroup the 8 thousands and 1 hundred to 7 thousands and 11 hundreds. Then, when you subtract 5 hundreds, you end with 7 thousands and 6 hundreds.
The next regrouping you need to do is when you try to subtract 6 ten-thousands from 5 ten-thousands. You must regroup the 2 hundred-thousands and 5 ten-thousands to 1 hundred-thousand and 15 ten-thousands. Then, when you subtract 6 ten-thousands, you end with 1 hundred-thousand and 9 ten-thousands.
The end result is
... 258,197 - 64,500 = 193,697
_____
If you use an abacus or soroban or similar tool to help you keep track of the numbers, you were likely taught to do the subtraction left-to-right. In this case, the first regrouping comes when you want to subtract 6 ten-thousands. Practitioners of this method know that -6 = -10 +4, so the number represented on the tool becomes (2-1) hundred-thousands and (5+4) ten-thousands plus the rest of the initial number, or 198,197 after subtracting the 6 ten-thousands.
The subtraction proceeds until you find you need to subtract 500 from 100. At this point, the tool is representing the partial result as 194,197. Again, if you practice this method, you know that -5 = -10 +5, so you reduce the thousands digit by 1 (to 3) and add 5 to the hundreds digit to get 193,697.
_____
An attempt is made to show the regroupings in the attachment. In each case there are two of them. However, working left-to-right, the result of the first subtraction of 6 ten-thousands is 19 ten-thousands, so you never actually write down anything else. Of course, if you're using an abacus or soroban, you don't write down anything—you simply change the position of the beads on the tool.
