Well 10% of $1240 is $124 because you just move the decimal place one to the left. Then what is $1240-$124? $1116
Yes, that is one way of figuring it out, that is true. HOWEVER: there is a much faster route, that, in itself, is 100% easier, faster, and much more foolproof, once you've got it down. Just remember: when you're subtracting a percent, your decimal should be less than 1, and when adding, it should be more than 1. Here's some examples that should well explain the process themselves:
*Example 1 (Subtracting a %) : [$1,240 - 10% = ?] [10% = 0.1] [1 - 0.1 = 0.9] [$1,240 x 0.9 = $1,116 (Use a calculator only if necessary.)]
*Example 2 (Adding a %) : [$1,240 + 10% = ?] [10% = 0.1] [1 + 0.1 = 1.1] [$1,240 x 1.1 = $1,364]
*I've placed the examples in step-by-step instructions, of which are designated by the brackets ("[" & "]").

by taking 12 dollars.
If you take 80% of 80 dollars away, you are left with 16 dollars.
625 - 25 percent is equal to 468.75
Another way of writing that is $20 - $16.20 which would equal $3.80
Take away 20% and you're left with 80%.80% of 20.99 = 16.79 .Doesn't matter whether they're dollars, lire, yen, pounds, bhat, sheqels, RMB, etc.
15 percent of 120 dollars is 18 dollars. If you take it away from the 120 dollars, there are 102 dollars remaining.

Think of it like this, you have 2 dollars. 2 dollars is 100 percent, so 150 is 3 dollars. However there is no negative percentage, so if you have 2 dollars can you take away 3? No, so that means u can never have a deduction of more than you have with percentages.

If you take away 40% from anything, you have 60% of it still there.60% of $720 = 0.6 x $720 = $432.00 still there

$18.75 is 25% $75 - $18.75 = $56.25 To find a percent, divide your number by 100 (to get 1%) then multiply by how many percent you need (in your case 75, as you have taken 25 away from 100)
25 per cent is a quarter and a quarter of 4 is 1. So a quarter of 400 is 100. Exact answer straight away! No estimation required.
