To calculate the new salary after a decrease of \( 6 \frac{2}{3} % \), we follow these steps:
-
Convert \( 6 \frac{2}{3} % \) to an improper fraction: \[ 6 \frac{2}{3} % = \frac{20}{3} % \]
-
Convert this percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100: \[ \frac{20}{3} % = \frac{20}{3 \times 100} = \frac{20}{300} = \frac{1}{15} \]
-
Calculate the amount of the decrease from the original salary of #180: \[ \text{Decrease} = 180 \times \frac{1}{15} = 12 \]
-
Subtract the decrease from the original salary: \[ \text{New Salary} = 180 - 12 = 168 \]
Thus, the man's new salary after the decrease is #168.
