240 decreased 15% find percent and total amount

Hello!

"Decrease" means to take away, so subtraction would be used here.

We must find out 15% of 240 is, and to do that we will convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100, and then multiply the decimal by 240.

^ I know, that's probably a lot to take in at once! :D

15% ÷ 100 = 0.15

240 × 0.15 = 36

Now that we know what 15% is, we must subtract it:

240 - 36 = 204

Final

204 is the total amount after a 15% decrease.

29. because you will divide each number of months by 12 to find the number of years. which would mean, 5, 12.5, 16, 45, 50, 72.5. which is crazy. anyhow, i think you find the median in the middle. and yea hope your test goes good
