A quarter of 
When you put them back together you get 
Example Question #866 : Hspt Mathematics
Which of the following is the least of the four?
Example Question #862 : Hspt Mathematics
The above is a menu at the concession stand at a drive-in movie. The manager is thinking of offering a Family Chicken Strip Bucket, which would comprise twenty-four strips. He wants to set it up so that anyone purchasing the Bucket would save at least 15% off the price of the chicken strips had he purchased the necessary number of smaller orders. Also, he wants to charge a whole dollar amount.
What should be the price of the Family Chicken Strip Bucket at most?
Twenty-four chicken strips comprise 
The price charged for the Basket should be no higher than this. However, the manager wants the price to be a whole dollar amount, so we round down to $20.
Example Question #271 : Concepts
Which of the following is true of 
Multiply, ignoring the decimal points:
Since, between the factors, a total of two digits are to the right of the decimal points, position the decimal point in the product so that two digits are at right of its decimal point. This is 65.34, which falls between 65 and 66.
Example Question #271 : Arithmetic
What is 16.7548 rounded to the nearest tenth?
The tenth's place is the position one unit to the right of the decimal point. In this case, that is the 7.
After identifying the position, we need to determine if this number remains 7 or if we need to round it up to 8. If the number to the right of the tenth's place is 4 or lower, then our number will remain 7. If it is 5 or greater, then we will round the 7 up to 8.
In this case, the number is indeed 5, so our tenth's place becomes 8. All numbers to the left of the tenth's place will remain the same.
Example Question #272 : Arithmetic
To subtract decimals you place the first decimal over the top of the other aligned by the decimal point. If there are no numbers after a tens, hundredths, or thousandths place or further to the right of the decimal just add a zero in the required areas.
For example 
Then go through each place and subtract the top number by the bottom number. Subtract the numbers in each place like you would any number.
The example we are working with will look like this
The answer after subtraction is
Example Question #273 : Arithmetic
Subtract:
Rewrite the decimal as a fraction and subtract:
Reduce this:
Example Question #274 : Arithmetic
Evaluate:
Add the first two numbers, making sure you align the decimal points in the addends and the sum:
Now subtract the third number, making sure you again align the decimal points:
Example Question #275 : Arithmetic
Combine:
First, combine the positive decimals, which gives you 
Then, you can subtract that from 
Your answer is 
Example Question #276 : Arithmetic
Write the value of this expression as a decimal:
Simplify the sum by taking the least common denominator, which is 12:
Divide 13 by 12:
