Question

If the number 320 is decreased by 16%, then the new number obtained is

• A. 268.8
• B. 336
• C. 304
• D. 371.2

Answer 1

The correct option is A 268.8

Given,
Orginal number = 320
Decrease percent = 16%

Then,
Decrease in the number = $\frac{16}{100}$ × 320
= 51.2

So, the new number = 320 - 51.2
= 268.8
