Calculate Percentage of Original: To find the value after a decrease by a percentage, we need to calculate the percentage of the original number and then subtract it from the original number.First, we calculate 5.4% of 75.5.4% of 75 = (5.4/100)×75
Perform Calculation: Now, we perform the calculation: 1005.4 * 75 = 0.054 * 75
Find Amount to Decrease: Next, we multiply 0.054 by 75 to find the amount to decrease from the original number:0.054×75=4.05
