Question

Brian pays £180 per week in rent. His landlord decides to decrease the rent by 5%. How much rent does he pay now

Answer 1

Answer:

171

Step-by-step explanation:

180 - (5% × 180)

180 - 5% × 180

(1 - 5%) × 180

(100% - 5%) × 180

95% × 180

95 ÷ 100 × 180

95 × 180 ÷ 100

17,100 ÷ 100 = 171.
