Question

Alan's goal is to decrease his weight by 5% each month. This month, he weights 280. What weight, in pounds, is he hoping to weigh next month?​

Answer 1

294lbs

Explanation:

You can find the weight by taking 10% of 280. (Move the decimal one spot to the left) That would be 28. Then divide 28 by 2 and you get 14, which would be 5%. Then add 14 to 280 and you get 294.
