Question

Answer 1

£880 x 0.65 = £572 :)

Answer 2

Answer: 308

Step-by-step explanation:

SOLUTION STEPS

880×35%

Reduce the fraction  

$\frac{35}{100}$

 to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.

$880*(\frac{7}{20} )$

Express $880*(\frac{7}{20} )$

as a single fraction.

$\frac{880*7}{20}$

Multiply 880 and 7 to get 6160.

$\frac{6160}{20}$

Divide 6160 by 20 to get 308.

308
