Answer:

40.8

Explanation:

1.) Subtract 270 from 160.

2.) use the difference of 270 and 160 (which is 110) divided by 270


(110)/(270)

3.) Convert fraction into decimal


(110)/(270) =(11)/(27) =.40777777...

4.) Multiply the decimal by 100


.4077...*100=40.777...

5.) Round it to the nearest tenths.

40.777...≈40.8
