Question

A gardening store ordered 657,230 potted plants last year. This year, the store ordered 10% fewer potted plants. How many potted plants were ordered this year?

Answer 1

Potted plants ordered last year = 6,57,230 (Indian Place Value System)

Pecentage of plants deducted = 10%

10% of 6,57,230 = 10/100 × 6,57,230

or, it can also be written as -

10/10 × 65,723

or,

65,723

Therefore, potted plants odered this year is 65,723

By the way, I'm an Indian : )
