Question

What is the decimal multiplier to decrease by 78%?

Answer 1

0.22

Explanation:

Let assume the number to be reduced be 100

Reducing it by 78% will be:

100 - ( 78% of 100 )

100 - (78/100)×100

100 - 0.78 × 100

100 - 78 = 22

Since the answer is 22. Hence,

22/100 will be the multiplier

0.22 × 100 = 22
