egbeach · Answer

whats 280 divided by 100?

egbeach · Answer

once you find that you multiple that number by 12.5.

anonymous · Answer

no this july= 280- 280x0.125 = 280-35= 245

egbeach · Answer

or you could solve it by 280/100= 2.8
2.8x12.5=35
280-35=245

it depends on how you learn it and which is easier for the person
