240 decreased 15% find percent and total amount

Hello!

"Decrease" means to take away, so subtraction would be used here.

We must find out 15% of 240 is, and to do that we will convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100, and then multiply the decimal by 240.

^ I know, that's probably a lot to take in at once! :D

15% ÷ 100 = 0.15

240 × 0.15 = 36

Now that we know what 15% is, we must subtract it:

240 - 36 = 204

Final

204 is the total amount after a 15% decrease.

Where the white dots are is where your points should be plotted.a translation is simply just moving something from one place to another. in this case, you would move each plot point of the original shape 2 units up, and 5 units to the left.
