Oh, dude, let me grab my calculator... Okay, so 10% of 58 is 5.8, and if you subtract that from 58, you get 52.2 pounds. So, there you go, 58 pounds decreased by 10% is 52.2 pounds. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!

To calculate a 10% decrease of 58 pounds, you first find 10% of 58 by multiplying 58 by 0.10, which equals 5.8 pounds. Subtracting 5.8 pounds from 58 pounds gives you the new weight after the 10% decrease, which is 52.2 pounds.

"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
