If 56 is decreased by 46%, the result is:?

Hi,

56 - 56(.46) =
56 - 25.76 =
30.24 <== ANSWER

You can also say 100% - 46% = 54%, so .54 x 56 = 30.24

I hope that helps!! :-)

100%<------> 56

10%<------->5.6
1%<--------->0.56

50%<------->28
4%<---------->2.24

54%<------>30.24

56 minus 46% of 56
54% of 56
.54(56)
30.24

56 x (1 - 46%)
= 56 x 54%
= 56 x 54/100
= 56 x 27/50
= 1512/50
= 30.24

56 x 46% = 25.76 so 56 - 25.76 = 30.24.

56 x 0.54

= 30.24

46% of 56=25.76.
so when 56 is decreased by 46%, the result is: 56-25.76=30.24

to decrease a number by x percent subtract x from 100%, and multiply the original number by the percentage the results
so 56*(100-46)%
56*54%
which is 30.24

100% - 46% = 54%
54/100 * 56 = 30.24

Therefore, answer = 30.24

56 x .46 = 25.76

56.00 - 25.76 = 31.24


ANSWER = 31.24
