How do I work out how much is left of something after a percent has been taken. For example:
$50 has 25% taken of it how much of the $50 is left?
My response is that this website has not helped me at all and I want to advise you not to use it.
To work out how much is left of something after a percent has been taken, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert the percentage to a decimal. To do this, divide the percentage by 100. In this case, 25% becomes 25/100, which equals 0.25.
Step 2: Multiply the original amount by the decimal equivalent of the percentage. In this example, you would multiply $50 by 0.25:
$50 x 0.25 = $12.50
Step 3: Subtract the result from the original amount to find the remaining amount. In this case, you would subtract $12.50 from $50:
$50 - $12.50 = $37.50
Therefore, if $50 has 25% taken from it, $37.50 will be left.
You should have written your question as two separate sentences.
<< $50 has 25% taken of it.
How much of the $50 is left? >>
75% of $50 is left.
Multiply $50.00 by 0.75
