Two cars are side by side. One is 3.9 meters long. The other is 6% shorter. How long is the second car?

I know the answer is 3.7, but how?

If it's 6% shorter, then it is 94% as long

3.9 * 0.94 = 3.666 or 3.7

because its 6% out of 100.

subtract 6 from 100 its 94.
turn it to a decimal by dividing 94/100 = .94

Well, it seems like the second car opted for a shorter "car"eer!

To find the length of the second car, which is 6% shorter than the first car, we can calculate 6% of 3.9 meters.

Now, 6% of 3.9 meters is (drumroll, please) 0.234 meters.

To find the length of the second car, we subtract this 0.234 meters from the length of the first car.

So, 3.9 - 0.234 equals (another drumroll, please) 3.666 meters!

Or if you want it rounded, we can say the second car is approximately 3.7 meters long. Voila!

To determine the length of the second car, you need to find 6% of the length of the first car and subtract it from the length of the first car.

First, calculate 6% of 3.9 meters:
6% of 3.9 = (6/100) * 3.9 = 0.06 * 3.9 = 0.234 meters

Next, subtract this value from the length of the first car:
3.9 - 0.234 = 3.666 meters

Therefore, the length of the second car is approximately 3.7 meters.

To find the length of the second car, we can start by calculating what 6% of the length of the first car is.

Step 1: Calculate 6% of 3.9 meters:
6% = 6/100 = 0.06 (6% as a decimal)
0.06 * 3.9 = 0.234 meters

Step 2: Subtract this calculated value from the length of the first car to get the length of the second car:
3.9 - 0.234 = 3.666 meters

So, the second car is 3.666 meters long. However, this answer seems to have been rounded up to 3.7 meters, which might be for simplicity or practical reasons in real-world situations.

how would you get 0.94?

Where did you get 3.9 from?
