Question

what number will be obtained on decreasing 240 by 25/2%

Answer 1

Answer:

${\sf{\dfrac{1919}{8}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

${\sf{ {\underline{Given:}} \ \ {\dfrac{25}{2}} \% = {\dfrac{25}{2 × 100}} = {\dfrac{1}{2 × 4}} = {\dfrac{1}{8}}}}$

$\sf{ (\% = {\dfrac{1}{100}})}$

$\sf{A.T.Q.}$

${\sf{240 - {\dfrac{1}{8}}}}$

→ $\sf{\dfrac{240(8) - 1}{8}}$

→ $\sf{\dfrac{1920 - 1}{8}}$

→ $\sf{\dfrac{1919}{8}}$
