Question

Justin was doing laundry over the weekend. He reduced his dirty laundry amount from 124 pieces of clothes to 32 pieces of clothes. By what percent was his dirty laundry reduced?

Answer 1

Answer: Justin  dirty laundry was  reduced by 74. 18%

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Total amount of clothes = 124 pieces

 Number of clothes reduced to = 32 pieces

To find the amount of the reduction, We will first Subtract the  number reduced to from the initial amount of clothes  giving us

Amount of reduction =  124- 32 =92 pieces of clothes

Step 2---Then we Divide the amount of the reduction of the clothes  by the total amount of clothes  to find the rate of reduction, giving us

Rate of reduction =  92/124 = 0.741

Step 3--- we finally Multiply the rate of reduction of clothes by 100 to find the percentage reduction.

0.741 x  100 = 74. 18%
