Deductive reasoning is a method of logical thought that begins with a general concept and arrives at a particular conclusion. It is often referred to as top-down thought or shifting from general to particular.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are some examples:

Elephants have cells in their bodies, and all cells have DNA. ...
All horses have manes.
Acute angles are less than 90 degrees. This angle is 40 degrees, so it must be an acute angle.

A clipboard cost $2.23.It cost $0.58 more than a notebook.Lisa bought two clipboards and one notebook.She paid with a ten dollar

Katen [24]

First you'd subtract .58 from 2.23 to get the price of the notebook.

2.23 - .58 = 1.65

(2.23×2)+1.65= 6.11

Now subtract 6.11 from ten to figure out the change amount.

10 - 6.11 = 3.89
