Answer for screen readers
  1. $3245$

  2. $507.5$

Steps to Solve

  1. Calculate 3.5% of 20000 and Multiply by 5
    First, find $3.5%$ of $20000$:
    $$ 20000 \times \frac{3.5}{100} = 700 $$
    Then multiply by 5:
    $$ 700 \times 5 = 3500 $$

  2. Calculate 0.3% of 20000
    Next, find $0.3%$ of $20000$:
    $$ 20000 \times \frac{0.3}{100} = 60 $$

  3. Divide the Result by 12
    Now, divide the result from step 2 by 12:
    $$ \frac{60}{12} = 5 $$

  4. Add 48 and 3
    Add $48$ and $3$:
    $$ 48 + 3 = 51 $$

  5. Multiply the Result of Step 3 by Step 4
    Now, multiply the result from step 3 by the result from step 4:
    $$ 5 \times 51 = 255 $$

  6. Subtract from Step 1 Result
    Finally, subtract the result from step 5 from the result of step 1:
    $$ 3500 - 255 = 3245 $$


  1. Calculate 4.35% of 20000
    For the second expression, find $4.35%$ of $20000$:
    $$ 20000 \times \frac{4.35}{100} = 870 $$

  2. Divide by 12 and Multiply by 7
    Now divide the result from step 7 by 12:
    $$ \frac{870}{12} = 72.5 $$
    Then, multiply by 7:
    $$ 72.5 \times 7 = 507.5 $$

  1. $3245$

  2. $507.5$

More Information

The calculations involve the use of percentages and basic arithmetic operations (multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction). Understanding these operations is essential for handling requests related to financial calculations or similar situations.

Tips

  • Forgetting to convert percentages to decimals before calculations. Always remember to divide the percentage by 100.
  • Misplacing parentheses which could lead to altering the order of operations.
  • Not accurately following the order of operations (BODMAS/BIDMAS) while solving expressions.
