Question

or The Allenville Times had 8,270 subscribers last year. This year, after the paper was bought out, it had 10% fewer. How many subscribers were there this year?

Answer 1

7443 subscribers

Explanation:

10% of 8270. We can find this by dividing the total original number of subscribers by the percent lost. Then, divide that by 100 to get that 10%

(8270×10)/100=827

10% of 8270 is 827.

Now that we know how many people are in that 10%, we can subtract them from the total.

8270-827=7443

There were 7443 subscribers left this year.
