Question

Help me decrease 25 by 30%

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage decrease = 30% × 25

New value = 25 - Percentage decreaseNew value =

25 - Percentage decrease =

25 - (30% × 25) =

25 - 30% × 25 =

(1 - 30%) × 25 =

(100% - 30%) × 25 =

70% × 25 =

70 ÷ 100 × 25 =

70 × 25 ÷ 100 =

1,750 ÷ 100 =

17.5

Absolute change (actual difference) =

New value - 25 =

17.5 - 25 =

- 7.5

Answer 2

Answer:

25 decreased by 30% equals 17.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we need to make our equation to solve.

x/25=30/100

We did x because we don't know what 30% of x is. The 25 shows the total, while the right side shows the percent.

Now cross multiply

100x=750

Now divide both sides by 100.

you will get x=7.5

So now we know that 7.5 is 30% of 25. Now, subtract 7.5 from 25 in order to find out what 25 decreased by 30% is.

25-7.5=17.5

So the answer is 17.5
