Question

If I lost 4% of 100 pencils an 6% of 200 pens how many pencils do I have left and how many pens do I have left?

Answer 1

To find 4% you multiply 100 by .04
100•.04=4
Then subtract
100-4=96 *you have 96 pencils left*

To find 6% of 200, multiply 200 by .06
200•.06=12
Then subtract
200-12=188 *you have 188 pens left*
