Question

The difference between 30% of 400 and 15% of 400 is a.)200 b.)150 c.)60 d.)30

Answer 1

C. 60

Explanation:

To find the difference between them, we must:

1. Find the amount of the percentage.

(Percent (%) is always over 100)

30% of 400 = 30/100 × 400/1

=12,000/100 = 120

So 30% of 400 is 120.

15% of 400 = 15/100 × 400

=6,000/100 = 60

So 15% of 400 is 60.

2. Then subtract the amount of the percentages to find their difference.

120 - 60= 60

So the difference between 120 and 60 is 60.

I hope this helps! I'm sorry if it's wrong or too complicated.
