Answer:
133,860
Explanation:
The baker was going to sell his house for 145,500 but he found that no one came to buy, so he decreased the amount by "8%".
* No we have our key elements:
- Starting amount = 145,500
- Rate of change = 8%
* We will get the "8%" of the number 145,500
- Firstly, "8%" means 8/100
- So, 0.08 will be our new rate of change.
* 145,500 will be multiplied by 0.08 to find the final answer because when we talk about the percentage of a number, we are going to talk about a part of it.
- 145,500 × 0.08 = 133,860 ; the same as
145,500 × 8/100 = 133,860
