1176. To decrease by a percentage, you work it out as 1200-(.02*1200) or you could also think of it as 0.98*1200

If you would like to know what is 1200 decreased by 2%, you can calculate this using the following steps:

2% of 1200 = 2% * 1200 = 2/100 * 1200 = 24

1200 - 24 = 1176

The correct result would be 1176.
