Question

X reduced by 40% translate from english to algebra

Answer 1

Hello there,

Since we need to reduce by a percentage and not increase, we have to subtract 40% from 100%, which gives us 60%.

Next, we convert 60% to decimal by dividing it by 100. The answer is 0.6.

Now to complete the problem, we multiply X by 0.6.

The answer is 0.6x

Hope this helped!
