Question

In December, a car salesman sold 60 cars. In January, he only sold 24. Find the percent decrease in his monthly sales.

Answer 1

Answer: 45.6

Explanation:

60 - (24% × 60) =

60 - 24% × 60 =

(1 - 24%) × 60 =

(100% - 24%) × 60 =

76% × 60 =

76 ÷ 100 × 60 =

76 × 60 ÷ 100 =

4,560 ÷ 100 = 45.6
