Answer: 2295 a month
Explanation:
Now 15% of 2700 should be reduced from 2700, you should find how much 15% is in money form.
Use this way if you are allowed to use a calculator:
- straight-away multiply 15% (you should include the percentage sign when entering the values if u are using the calculator) from 2700. Then the value you get is 405 (it is the money that this company wants to reduce from their bills)
- The next step is subtracting that value (405) from the bills (2700) of the company. Then the final answer is 2295.
15% x 2700= 405
next: 2700- 405= 2295
Use this way if you are not allowed to use the calculator:
- You should convert the percentage value to a fraction in order to make it much easier to multiply it with the bill's value. So it is very easy as we always divide the value presented as a percentage by 100. So the fraction of 15% is
. - next just multiply it (
) by the value of the bill(2700) in order to get the amount that this company wants to reduce from their bill. And then the value you will get is 405, make sure to subtract it from the bill value given in the question. So that is when you get the final answer (2295)
× 2700= 405
therefore; 2700- 405= 2295
