Answer to a math question in the file room there are 800 offender files. Your sergeant tells you to take out 30 per cent of the files and put them in the next room. How many files should you put into the next room?
Solution:
1. Total number of files: 800
2. Percentage to move: 30% (or 0.30 as a decimal)
3. Calculate the number of files to move:
- Multiply the total number of files by the percentage as a decimal.
- 800 \times 0.30 = 240
4. Therefore, the number of files to put into the next room is 240.
