Question

Can you tell me if this answer is right?

57-37/37 x 100% = 20%

Answer 1

That is not what I got....
57 - 37/37 x 100% =
57 - 1 x 1.00 =
56 x 1.00 = 56

Answer 2

Be careful with order of operations. Although it did not make a difference in this problem, it does make a difference most of the time.
57 - 37/37 x 100% =
57 - 1 x 1 =
57 - 1 =
56

Answer 3

I got another answer of 54%

Answer 4

I see, you mean (57 - 37)/37 x 100%.
Are you trying to find a percent difference?
If you mean
[(57 - 37)/37] x 100%
then you get
20/37 x 100% = 54% approx.
