To find 62 kilo deceased by 32%, you first need to find what 32% of 62 is.
If you multiply 62 by 0.32 (or 32% in decimal form), you can determine the amount to decrease 62 kilos by:
0.32 * 62 = 19.84
Therefore, 62 kilos decreased by 32% would be:
62 - 19.84 = 42.16 kilos
You could also multiply 62 kilos by 0.68 because you would have 68% left after you make your decrease. You will get the same result:
0.68 * 62 = 42.16 kilos
Hope this helps!
