To multiply fractions you multiply the numerator and that becomes the answer to the numerator
And then you do the same for the denominator
Then simplify if you can
Example:
2/5 * 3/6 = 6/30 = 1/5
$34.00 - pants.
$16.00 ×2 = $32.00 - shirts.
$24.00×2= $48.00 - shoes.
$34.00+ $32.00 + $48.00 = $114.00
$200.00 - $114.00 = $86.
but if you count $35 then he had , $121
The item has 42/140 * 100,or 30% of its initial value. That means that it lost 70% of its value, so 70% is the percent decrease.
