$$- ( 172 \times \frac { 20 } { 100 } ) + ( 272 \times \frac { 20 } { 100 } )$$

Evaluate

$$20$$

Solution Steps

Reduce the fraction \frac{20}{100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 20.

$$-172\times \frac{1}{5}+272\times \frac{20}{100}$$

Multiply 172 and \frac{1}{5} to get \frac{172}{5}.

$$-\frac{172}{5}+272\times \frac{20}{100}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{20}{100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 20.

$$-\frac{172}{5}+272\times \frac{1}{5}$$

Multiply 272 and \frac{1}{5} to get \frac{272}{5}.

$$-\frac{172}{5}+\frac{272}{5}$$
