Answer 2

308 - (308*0.4)

Answer 3

308*(1-0.40) easier form

Answer 4

that equals 184.8

Answer 5

Since it rose 40% since the last year, you have to find 40% of 308 and subtract it from 308 :) So what is your answer?

308 - (308*40%) \(\rightarrow\) 308 - (308*0.4)

Answer 6

hmm there is no answer

Answer 7

Answer 8

Hmm give me a sec

Answer 9

it's 220 since 308 = 140%

308/140 = 1%
1% x 100 = 100%
