Question

Subtracting 8% of x from x is equivalent to multiplying x by how much?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.92

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtracting 8% of x from x is,

$x - 8\% \: of \: x \\ = x - \frac{8x}{100 } \\ = \frac{100x - 8x}{100} \\ = \frac{92x}{100} \\ = \frac{41x}{50}$

So, it is equal to multiplying x by 41/50 or 0.92

Answer 2

Answer:

the x-8%x is simply equivalent to  $\frac{92x}{100}$ or  $0.92x$

Step-by-step explanation:

as per the given question, we need to find the equiavlent value of

Subtracting 8% of x from x

where x is a number.

so let x be any unknown number,

percentage is a ratio of whole quantity to 100 , in this case we are finding that how much of a quantity is present in a hundered.

and when we have to find 8 % of x, we simply have to multiply 8% to x

⇒ 8% of x=$\frac{8}{100}*x$

now we have to find the equivalent value when we subtract the 8% of x from a whole value , that is x itself.

⇒ we need to compute x-8% 0f x

now we will subtract

x-8% of x=

$x-\frac{8x}{100}\\=\frac{100x-8x}{100}$

the value comes out to be  $\frac{92x}{100}$

then we can conclude that the x-8%x is simply equivalent to  $\frac{92x}{100}$ or  $0.92x$
