Question

Decrease 151.1 by 84%

Answer 1

24.176

Explanation:

Let's find 84% first of 151.1 before we decrease it.

Since we have 84%, we can turn into a decimal and use it for our sum.

84% = 0.84

We multiply 151.1 by 0.84 in order to find the amount (strange right? I thought it was divide).

151.1 × 0.84 = 126.924

Now that we have 84% of 151.1, let's decrease it. We need to take them both away from each other, biggest number first!

151.1 - 126.924 = 24.176

And that is the final answer!

Answer 2

84% of 151.1 being reduced from 151.1 is what we need to find.

Thus we shld find 84% of 151.1

12,692.4÷100

126.924

Now subtracting 126.924 from 151.1

151.1 - 126.924

24.176
