"10 percent" means 0.1 .
10% of 58 pounds is (0.1 x 58) = 5.8 pounds.
Take that much away from the original 58 pounds:
(58 pounds) - (5.8 pounds) = 52.2 pounds
===================================
The other way to do it:
If you decrease something by 10% , you have 90% of it left.
90% means 0.9 .
0.9 x 58 pounds = 52.2 pounds
58 decreased by 10 percent = 52.2
58 minus 10 = 48
58% + 10 = 10.58
2 pounds 58 pence
29 percent
58 10% is 0.10 so 0.1x580 = 58
About 17.24%
5.8
To calculate x percentage of a number, multiply it by x/100. So 58*10/100 = 58/10 = 5.8
it is 3 pounds, 10 ounces
10 lots of 5.80 is 58.0
