1. Problem Description

The problem asks to compute two values:
First, decrease 90 by 20%.
Second, find 60% of
2
5
0.

2. Solution Steps

First, we need to decrease 90 by 20%. This means we need to calculate 20% of 90 and then subtract that from
9
0.
20% of 90=20100×90=0.20×90=1820\% \text{ of } 90 = \frac{20}{100} \times 90 = 0.20 \times 90 = 18
Then, we subtract 18 from 90:
9018=7290 - 18 = 72
Next, we need to find 60% of
2
5
0.
60% of 250=60100×250=0.60×250=15060\% \text{ of } 250 = \frac{60}{100} \times 250 = 0.60 \times 250 = 150

3. Final Answer

Decreasing 90 by 20% gives
7

2. 60% of 250 is 150.
