Question

Decrease 216 by 37 1/2%

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we need to decrease 216 by $37\dfrac{1}{2}\%$ or 37.5 %.

For this, firstly find 37.5 % of 216.

$37.5\%\ \text{of}\ 216=\dfrac{37.5}{100}\times 216\\\\=81$

Now subtracting 81 from 216 to find decrease of 216 by 37.5 %.

So,

216-81 = 135

Hence, 135 is the decrease of 216 by 37.5 %.
