Plz give solution as soon as possible
What number will be obtained on decreasing 240 by 25/2%
25/2% = 12 1/2% = 1/8
1/8 of 240 is 30. That will be the decrease.
The new (decreased) number is 210

To find the number obtained on decreasing 240 by 25/2%, you can follow these steps:
1. Calculate the percentage decrease. The given percentage is 25/2%, which is equivalent to 25/2 ÷ 100 = 0.25/2 = 0.125.
2. Multiply the original number by the decimal form of the percentage decrease. In this case, multiply 240 by 0.125: 240 × 0.125 = 30.
3. Subtract the result from the original number. Subtract 30 from 240: 240 - 30 = 210.
Therefore, decreasing 240 by 25/2% will give you the number 210.
