Solve 80-100*20%-2%

$$80-100 \times 20 \% -2 \%$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{2999}{50}=59.98$$

Solution Steps

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

$$80-100\times \frac{1}{5}-\frac{2}{100}$$

Multiply 100 and \frac{1}{5} to get \frac{100}{5}.

$$80-\frac{100}{5}-\frac{2}{100}$$

Divide 100 by 5 to get 20.

$$80-20-\frac{2}{100}$$

Subtract 20 from 80 to get 60.

$$60-\frac{2}{100}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{2}{100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$60-\frac{1}{50}$$

Convert 60 to fraction \frac{3000}{50}.

$$\frac{3000}{50}-\frac{1}{50}$$

Since \frac{3000}{50} and \frac{1}{50} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{3000-1}{50}$$

Subtract 1 from 3000 to get 2999.

$$\frac{2999}{50}$$

Factor

$$\frac{2999}{2 \cdot 5 ^ {2}} = 59\frac{49}{50} = 59.98$$
