1)  

 Find the number which is 15% lessthan 365.

Answer: 310.25


SOLUTION 1 :

Given:

15% of 365   =   (15÷100) x 365

                        =  0.15 x 365

                        =  54.75

 The required number = 365 - 54.75

                                   = 310.25



2)  

 Find the number which is 12% lessthan 247.

Answer: 217.36


SOLUTION 1 :

Given:

12% of 247   =   (12÷100) x 247

                        =  0.12 x 247

                        =  29.64

 The required number = 247 - 29.64

                                   = 217.36



3)  

 Find the number which is 15% lessthan 272.

Answer: 231.2


SOLUTION 1 :

Given:

15% of 272   =   (15÷100) x 272

                        =  0.15 x 272

                        =  40.8

 The required number = 272 - 40.8

                                   = 231.2



4)  

 Find the number which is 12% lessthan 315.

Answer: 277.2


SOLUTION 1 :

Given:

12% of 315   =   (12÷100) x 315

                        =  0.12 x 315

                        =  37.8

 The required number = 315 - 37.8

                                   = 277.2



5)  

 Find the number which is 13% lessthan 265.

Answer: 230.55


SOLUTION 1 :

Given:

13% of 265   =   (13÷100) x 265

                        =  0.13 x 265

                        =  34.45

 The required number = 265 - 34.45

                                   = 230.55



6)  

 Find the number which is 10% lessthan 300.

Answer: 270


SOLUTION 1 :

Given:

                        =  0.1 x 300

                        =  30

 The required number = 300 - 30

                                   = 270



7)  

 Find the number which is 14% lessthan 326.

Answer: 280.36


SOLUTION 1 :

Given:

14% of 326   =   (14÷100) x 326

                        =  0.14 x 326

                        =  45.64

 The required number = 326 - 45.64

                                   = 280.36



8)
