What would 54 be with 15% off?

Question

Could someone tell me what would be left if I took 15% off 54 and could you show your workings.
thanks

Answer 1

54 x 0.85 = 45.9





Start with 1.00%:

If you're decreasing take that much off of the 1.00% (i.e. 15% off is 1.00 - 15 = 0.85)

If you're increasing then add that much on (so 15% increase is 1.15)



Then times that number by the number which is being increased/decreased - simple!

Answer 2

54 divided by 100 gives 1% which in this case is .54 to get 85% (100-15) you would do .54 x 85 which =45.9

Answer 3

15% of 54 =15 divided by 100 X 54=8.1

54-8.1=45.9

very interesting how everybody does it different ways!

Answer 4

15% is 15 ÷ 100. (15/100ths)

(15 ÷ 100) x 54 = 8.1

54 - 8.1 = 45.9



A quicker way is to say...100 - 15 = 85.

85/100 = 0.85

0.85 x 54 = 45.9

Answer 5

15% off for 54 would leave you with 45.90

i.e. => 54 - [54 x (15/100)]

=> 54 - [54 x 0.15]

=> 54 - [8.1]

=> 45.90

Got It !!!

Answer 6

Hello,



The answer to this Math question is the following:



15 divided by 100, and multiplied by 54 is equal to 8.1-54



OR: 15%X100X54= 8.1-54

Answer =45.9

Answer 7

The EASY way...



To get 10% move the point once to the left - 10% of 365 is 36.5 - to get 1% move it to the left again - 1% of 365 is 3.65



Now you have the tools to calculate the % of any given figure...



For example



54 minus 15% - well - 10% of 54 is 5.4 and 1% is .54



I hope I 've set you up for a lifetime of understanding how to work out percentages!



If you need further guidance - email me and I'll soon have you working out 1% of a fart!



(Joke, of course, all farts are 100%)

Answer 8

Hey there!



Use the formula for percent. P=S/T, where P is the percent, S is certain number of events in a set, and T is the total number of events in the set. Here's the answer.



P=S/T -->

15%=S/54 -->

0.15=S/54 -->

0.15(54)=S -->

S=8.1



Since the question said 15% off, we have to subtract S from T.



T-S -->

54-8.1 -->

45.9



So the answer is 45.9.



Hope it helps!

Answer 9

54/100 multiply the result by fifteen and take that away from 54. not gonna do it for you tho dude

Answer 10

54 - 15% = 85% of 54



= 54 x 0.85 = 45.9

Answer 11

If it is 15% off, then you are keeping 85%, right? So you just multiply 54 by .85 to get your answer...



54 * .85 = 45.9

There is your answer :)

Answer 12

54*.15=8.1 then you subtract that from 54, which equals 45.9

Answer 13

note

54 - 15% of 54 =

54 - .15(54) =

54 - 8.1 =

45.90

Answer 14

less than 54

Answer 15

10% of 54 is 5.4. 5% is half that, 2.7. So 15% is 5.4 + 2.7 = 8.1. Take that off 54 and get 45.9.



Or if you take away 15%, you leave 85%. 0.85 x 54 = 45.9.

Answer 16

Try to rewrite the problem like...

What is 85% of 54? I hope you agree with me.

Then try to convert this question to mathematical equation

"What" with a variable "x"

" is " means " = " mathematically

and " %" means " /100"

" of " means " * "

so we have

X is 85/100 of 54

X = 0.85 of 54

X = 0.85 * 54

I hope you can get it from here

cheers :)

Answer 17

45.9 54 x .85

Answer 18

54 -15% = 45.9

Answer 19

N = 54 ( 1 - 0.15 )

N= 45.9

Answer 20

.15 x 54 = 8.10

54 - 8.1 = 45.9

Answer 21

54-54x.15=45.9

Answer 22

54 x (1-0.15) = 45.9

Answer 23

45.9 you can do it your head,10% of 54 is 5.4 Half the 5.4

that's 2.7+5.4 =8.1 from 54 =45.9

Answer 24

15 x 54 = 810



so if its 15% off of $54.00 then you'll get $8.10 off

Answer 25

£45.90 10% of 54 is 5.40 so 15% is 8.10

Answer 26

54 - (54 x 0.15) = ?



You do the math.

Answer 27

15% of 54

15%= 15/100

54 divide by 100 = 0,54

0,54

x 15

60+7.50= 8.10=8.1

ANSWER= 8.1

Answer 28

Okay this way is easy. 10% of 54 is 5.4 and you need 15 % so half of 5.4 is 2.7 so 5.4 plus 2.7 is... your answer : )

Answer 29

45.90



10% of 54 is 5.40

5% of 54 is 2.70 (half of 5.40)

5.40 + 2.70 = 8.10

54 - 8.10= 45.90

Is that right?

Answer 30

so many correct answers, but for some reason they have been rated negatively.... almost looks like someone been doing that on purpose......

Answer 31

54-5.4(10%) = 48.6 - 2.7(5%) = 45.9

Answer 32

54*(1-0.15)

Answer 33

45.9

54-15%=45.9
