How do you subtract a percent from a price?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There's a couple of ways. Multiply the price by the percent and subtract that total from the price or multiply the price by 1.00 minus the percent. The second way sounds more difficult but it's easier if you try it. To take 15 percent off a marked price, multiply the price by 0.85

How do you list fractions least to greatest?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Best shown with an example

1/2 , 5/6 * 5/4

Bring the three fraction to a common denominator, in this case '12' , because '2' , '4' & '6' are factors of '12'.

Then bring the numerators to the equivalent number.

Hence

1/2 = 6/12

5/6 = 10/12

5/4 = 15/12

We now compare the numerators (top) 6 < 10 < 15

Hence it follows

1/2 < 5/6 < 5/4

What is the definition for the multiplicative inverse?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It means, "With what number must I multiply it, to get a product of 1?"

For example, the multiplicative inverse of 4 is 0.25 (= 1/4), since 4 x 0.25 = 1. The multiplicative inverse of 5/17 is 17/5. In general, you can divide 1 by a number to get its multiplicative inverse; in the case of fractions, first convert the fraction to an improper fraction (if it is in the form of a mixed fraction), then simply exchange numerator and denominator.

If Mary deposits 275 in principal at an interest rate of 3.2 percent how much interest will she earn in one year?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Before she chooses a bank and deposits her money, Mary should shop around first.

There are different kinds of interest.

At 3.2% . . .

If it's simple interest, her money will earn $ 8.80 .

If it's compounded quarterly, it earns $ 8.91 in one year.

If it's compounded monthly, it earns $ 8.93 .

If it's compounded daily, it earns $ 8.94 .

Also, by the way, notice that Mary doesn't earn the interest. Her invested money does.

How do you write 140 percent as a fraction in simplest form?

THere is not such percentage greater than 100% .

100% is totality.

140% is actually a multple of 100

Yes!!! we casually refer to percentages greater than 100%, but it is incorrect.

Something like 200% should be referred to as 'twice as much'. or '2 times'.

As a fraction

140% = 140/100

Cancel down by '10'

14/10

Cancel down by '2'
