Question

A furniture company currently produces 6800 chairs per month. If production decreases ​6%, find the amount of the decrease and the new number of chairs produced each month.

Answer 1

408

6392

Explanation:

6% of 6800 = 6% × 6800 = 0.06 × 6800 = 408

The decrease is 408 chairs.

6800 - 408 = 6392

The new number of chairs is 6392.
