Hello! 300 cars were manufactured in August, and 5% fewer cars were made in September, compared to August. 5% fewer only means 5% less of the number 300, which means that in September, it made 95% of the amount of cars made in August. For this, what we do is multiply 300 by 95%. 300 * 95% (0.95) is 285. Now, what we do is subtract both numbers from each other to find the difference. 300 - 285 is 15. There. The difference of the amount of cars made in the two months is 15.
