What is 10% away from 228 dollars

?

did you meant 10% of 228$?

if so then  $${\mathtt{228}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{0.1}} = {\mathtt{22.8}}$$

i think its (228*.1)= x (22.8)         (22.8)x - 228 = 205.2

Yes, your meaning is not clear.

Both answers are good but the numbers are the wrong way around and there shouldn't be an x in the subtraction on the 2nd answer.
