Question

How do I figure 200% less than 17240.00 dollars

Answer 1

Tammy, this is the solution:

Amount of money = x

200% x < 17,240

200% of x is 2x, therefore:

2x < 17,240

Dividing by 2 at both sides:

2x/2 < 17,240/2

x < 8,620

In consequence, any number that is less than 8,620 is 200% less than 17,240
