Question

To decrease an amount by 24% what single multiplier would you use​

Answer 1

Divide the percentage by 100 so 24/100 is 0.24 so if you want to find out 24% of 40 you do 40 times 0.24 which is 9.6

Answer 2

24/100 and multiply by the number u want to decrease 24 by

for example 24% of 20 =

`(24 * 20)/(100)`

which = 480 and u divide that by 100 which is 4.8
