Translate into an algebraic expressions: b is decreased by 40% and decreased again by 40% . What is the result ?

Result = 9b/25 or 36b/100

Step-by-step explanation:

The number is b

step 1

b is decreased by 40%

value of 40% of b = 40/100 *b = 4b/10

New value after this change = b - 40% decreased value of b = b -4b/10

= (10b-4b)/10 = 6b/10

Step 2 The new value obtained is again decreased by 40%

value of 40%  number found in step 1 =  40% of value found in step 1

value of 40%  number found in step 1 =  40/100 * 6b/10 = 24b/100

This value (24b/100) is subtracted from value found in step 1(6b/10) as given that  value obtained is decreased by 40%

new value found after 40% decrease = 6b/10 - 24b/100

new value found after 40% decrease = 60b/100 - 24b/100= 36b/100

new value found after 40% decrease =  36b/100 = 9b/25

Thus, the result of b is decreased by 40% and decreased again by 40% is 9b/25
