Question

a carpenter has a wooden stick that is 84 cm long she cuts off 24% from the end of the stick then she cuts the remaining stick into 6 equal pieces what is the length of each piece

Answer 1

84*.24= 20.16
84-20.16= 63.84
63.84/6=10.64
10.64cm each

Answer 2

Ok first you have to get rid of 24% so you have to find 1% to do that you have to divide 84 by 100 so you would get .84 which would be 1% then multiply it by 24 to get 20.16 then you do 84-20.16 (the total minus the 24 percent) and then you'd get 63.84 and after that you'd have to divide it by 6 and you'd get 10.64 and if you want to round it down it would be 10.6 because you look at the last number unless you want the next whole number then it would be 11 because you would look at the first number after the decimal point but if you're not rounding your answer would be 10.64
