Question

The number 160 is increased by ​50%. The result is then decreased by 75​%. What is the final​ number?

Answer 1

Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

50%=.50

160×.50=80

160+80=240

25%=.25

240×.25=60

60 is the final number

ANOTHER WAY TO DO IT IS :

160 divided by 2 is 80

so 50%= 80

160 + 80 = 240

240 - 75% = 60

IT GIVES THE SAME ANSWER 60

Answer 2

There are multiple ways to do this problem- as the other person already stated those methods- therefor your answer would simply just be- 60.
