" Mr. Anderson's doctor has advised him to go on a diet. He must reduce his calorie intake by 15%. He currently 2800 cal per day. Find 2 different ways to get this answer each Jain a different multiplier." This is what I have X= 15% of 2800
X=0.15 times 2800
X= 420 cal.
Plz help w the second one

Answer 1

(1) 2800 - 15% of 2800 =
2800 - 0.15(2800) =
2800 - 420 = 2380

(2) if he is reducing it by 15%, then he is actually eating 85%....
0.85(2800) = 2380
