What is 560 minus 20 percent?

Answer 1

We can easily determine the solution for this problem is we take 20% and make it easier by making it 10%.

10% of any number in the hundreds is the number itself minus a 0. So 10% of 560 would be 56 (the number itself minus a zero). Now we need two of them to make 20% so 56 (10%) + 56 (10%) = 112 or 20%.

Now do your basic substraction: 560 - 112 = 448 or 560 - 20% = 448
