Question

Julie sent 200 emails last month. This month she sent 40% less. How many

emails did she send this month?

Answer 1

She sent 120 emails this month.

Explanation:

Multiply 200 by .60 (60 percent) and it will give you 120.

I used 60 instead of 40 because the problem said 40 percent less, NOT 40 percent of 200.
