Answer 1

£13496.80

Explanation:

We can ignore the £ sign for now, that is just units.

If we decrease a number by 4.5%, we will have to find
`100-4.5=95.5`% of 14132.77.

We can easily do this by setting up a proportion.

`(x)/(14132.77) = (95.5)/(100)`

Multiply 14132.77 by 95.5:

`14132.77\cdot95.5=1349679.535`

Divide by 100:

`1349679.535/100=13496.79535`

Rounding this to two decimal places, it simplifies to 13496.80.

Hope this helped!
