Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Make an expression

What is the result when the number 64 is decreased by 4.1%?

64 * (1 - 0.041) = x

Step 2: Solve inside the parenthesis

64 * (0.959) = x

Step 3: Multiply

64 * (0.959) = x

61.376 = x

61.4 = x

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x$ be $4.1%$ of $64$ :

$\frac{4.1}{100} = \frac{x}{64}$

$100x = 262.4$

$x = 2.624$

Subtracting this from $64$ will give us the answer:

$64 - 2.624 = 61.376$

Rounding to the nearest tenth give us $61.4$ .

How to find the circumference of a circle

Romashka [77]

C = πd. In this equation, "C" represents the circumference of the circle, and "d" represents its diameter. That is to say, you can find the circumference of a circle just by multiplying the diameter by pi. Plugging π into your calculator will give you its numerical value, which is a closer approximation of 3.14 or 22/7.
The radius is half as long as the diameter, so the diameter can be thought of as 2r. Keeping this in mind, you can write down the formula for finding the circumference of a circle given the radius: C = 2πr. In this formula, "r" represents the radius of the circle. Again, you can plug π into your calculator to get its numeral value, which is a closer approximation of 3.14.
