Question

The value on decreasing of 15% from $ 1200 is equalto

Answer 1

The original value given is

`\text{ \$1200}`

15% of the value give is

`\begin{gathered} 15\text{ \% of 1200} \\ \end{gathered}`

Since percentage means out of 100, then we have

`\begin{gathered} (15)/(100)*1200 \\ \text{Then} \\ =15*12 \\ =180 \end{gathered}`

Hence the decreasing value will be $180

Since the value is decreasing we have,

`\begin{gathered} 1200-180 \\ =1020 \end{gathered}`

Therefore

The decreasing of 15% from $1200 is $1020

Answer: $1020
