Question

What is 140 degrees decreased by 65%?

Answer 1

49 degrees.

Explanation:

So to figure out this type of problem, I believe you need to convert 65% to a decimal value by putting it over a 100 like this:

`65/100=0.65`

So we multiply it by 140 as shown below:

`140*0.65=91`

BUT, we need to subtract it to see what the new degree is. So we do it like this:

`140-91=49`

So I believe the answer is 49 degrees.
