Question

Derek can do 50 pushups. Roger can do

8% fewer than Derek can do. How many
pushups can Roger do?​

Answer 1

Rodger can do 46 pushups.

50 * 0.92 = 46

Edit: To better clarify, 0.92 is from 1.00 - 0.08.

... 8 percent fewer than 100 percent is 92 percent; 1.00 - 0.08 = 0.92

Keep in mind that:

1.00 = 100%

0.08 = 8%

0.92 = 92%

After finding this you may multiply 50 * 0.92 to get 46.
