Answer: It is not reasonable.

Step-by-step explanation: when subtracting a negative number from a positive number the answer is always going to be positive because two negatives make a plus. For example 3-(-5). The two negatives cancel each other out, so it’s 3+5=8

Eva8 [605]

Assuming display of computer is at 100%

then 20% of 120 is: 20/100 * 120 = 24

So the display is now 120-24 = 96
