Question

Decrease $7500 by 7%
please help i need step by step explanation​

Answer 1

Hi there

Ok so here we have $7500 which needs to be decreased by 7%,

As it is decrease we need to reduce 7% of $7500 or in other words we need to subtract whatever is 7% of $7500 from $7500

So we need 7% of $7500 first, so lets find it,

7% of $7500 is: 7500* 7/100

⇒75 * 7/1 [Here we cancelled the zeroes from 7500 and 100]

⇒ 75 *7

⇒ 525

Now we need to subtract 525 from our 7500

⇒$7500-525

⇒$6975 is the required answer

Answer 2

(100% - 7%) × 7,500

= 93% × 7,500

= 93 ÷ 100 × 7,500

= 93 × 7,500 ÷ 100

= 697,500 ÷ 100

= 6975
hope this helped
