What is 2.2 million minus 35 percent?

Answer 1

We can solve this problem if we remember that 10% of any number is simply the number itself with its decimal point movedone place to the left.

I.e. 10% of 2,200,000 is 220,000. Which means that 5% is 110,000 (exactly half of ten).

Therefore we get: 220,000 (10%) + 220,000 (10%) + 220,000 (10%) + 110,000 (5%) = 770,000 (35%).

Lastly, 2,200,000 - 770,000 = 1,430,000
