decrease 6000 by 7%
1- 7% means 7/100=.07 X 6,000=420 This is 7% of 6,000. Now we subtract it from 6,000
6,000 - 420=5,580
2- Since 7%=.07, that means 1 - .07=.93 of the number is left. So we multiply this number by 6,000
.93 X 6,000=5,580.
If something is decreased by 7%, it must just be 93% of what it was....so....
93% of 6000 =
.93 x 6000 =
5580
