Question

How do I decease 7 by 3%​

Answer 1

Percentage decrease = 7 × 3%

7 - Percentage decrease = 7-(3% x 7)= 7 - 3% x 7=7 x (1 - 3%)= (100% - 3%) × 7 = 97% x 7 = 679%

Answer 2

6.79

Explanation:

First of all, you will have to know how much is 3% of 7 in order to decrease it by that amount.

7 x 0.03 = 0.21

Now that you know the amount, you can subtract it from seven and therefore you have decreased 7 by 3%.

7 - 0.21 = 6.79
