The answer is c because you have to say 27 minus the number minus 3
9 is in parentheses therefore it's elevated above 3 that means you have to do operations on it first.
3 + (-9) = -6
The sum is negative.
Answer:
85%
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the percentage we will have to start by dividing the amount he brings home by the gross.
156.4 / 184 = 0.85
By doing this, we get the answer in decimal form, which is not what we want.
Multiply it by 100 to convert it into a percent.
0.85 x 100 = 85.
Now, we know that he brings home 85% of his gross.
