Solve 500*16*(1-1/10)

$$500 \times 16 \times ( 1 - \frac { 1 } { 10 } )$$

Evaluate

$$7200$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 500 and 16 to get 8000.

$$8000\left(1-\frac{1}{10}\right)$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{10}{10}.

$$8000\left(\frac{10}{10}-\frac{1}{10}\right)$$

Since \frac{10}{10} and \frac{1}{10} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$8000\times \frac{10-1}{10}$$

Subtract 1 from 10 to get 9.

$$8000\times \frac{9}{10}$$

Express 8000\times \frac{9}{10} as a single fraction.

$$\frac{8000\times 9}{10}$$

Multiply 8000 and 9 to get 72000.

$$\frac{72000}{10}$$

Divide 72000 by 10 to get 7200.

$$7200$$
