Question

Decrease 60 by 10%

With step by step explanation ​

Answer 1

Given: The number is$60$.

We have to find a decrease$60 by 10\%$.

We are solving in the following way:

We have,

The number is$60$

The decrease $60 by 10\%$ will be:

$=>60-60\times\frac{10}{100} \\\\=>60-6\\=>54$

Hence, a decrease$60 by 10\%$ will be$54$.

Answer 2

• As per the data given in the question, we have to determine the required number.

      Given data:- Decrease $60$ by $10\%.$

      Solution:-

• A percentage is a fraction of an amount expressed as a particular number of hundredths of that amount.
• It is denoted by $\% .1 \% means \frac{1}{100}.$
• We are using the unitary method to calculate the percentage of numbers.
• Fractions can be converted into percentages and vice-versa.
• Percentages are reversible. For example,$30 \% of 40$ is the same as$40 \% of 30 .$

   Therefore,

    First of all we have to calculate $10\%$ of $60$ then subtract from that.

    We get,

   $=60\times\frac{10}{100}\\=6.$

  Then,

    $=60-6\\=54.$

Hence, the value will be $54.$
