Last summer, a sports club had 64 members. This summer, due to some renovations, it has 25% fewer members. How many members are there now?

Answer 1

the total number of members lost here is

25% of 64 = 0.25 x 64 = 16

meaning that the new total will be

64 (initial members) - 16 (members lost) = 48

so there are now 48 members in the sports club

Answer 2

I know that the sports club started with 64 members last summer. I know that this summer they have 25% less than last summer. In order to find out what 25% of 64 is I multiply 64×25%. The answer is 16. In order to find out the number of members there are now I subtract 16 from 64. There answer is 48.

Answer 3

64(1-0.25) = 64-16= 48

or

64(1-0.25) = 64(0.75) = 48
