Alfred tells Bruce Wayne that he needs to cut his Batman budget by 18%. If Bruce Wayne had been spending $4,000,000 a year on batman, how much money did batman cut from the budget?



Answer :

47755

Answer: $720,000

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Batman's budget was cut by 18% and that the original amount was 4,000,000. We can get the answer by finding out what the 18% is.

Step 1: Covert 18% into a decimal, 18% = 0.18

Step 2: 4,000,000 x 0.18, which equals to 720,000

And there is our answer, $720,000

And to check our work we can just divide 720,000 by 0.18, which equals 4,000,000

(Batman's new budget is $3,280,000)
