Question

A container ship left port last week carrying some goods weighing a total of 115,280 tons.

Today, it stopped in another port to unload. As a result, the weight of the goods on the ship
decreased by 30%. What is the weight of the goods on the ship now?

Answer 1

80696,tons

Explanation:

let's assume 115280 tons is 100%

100% ‐ 30% = 70%

100% —> 115280tons

70% —> 115280tons ÷ 100 × 70

= 80695.999999997

= 80696 (round to nearest whole number)
