If my check of 150 ended up being 138.52 and my other check of 443.75 ended up being 409.81 , how much will my check of 906.25 be

Answer 1

To determine how much your check of $906.25 will be, we can first calculate the percentage that your previous checks were reduced by.

1. For the first check:

   • Original amount: $150
   • Final amount: $138.52
   • Reduction: $150 - $138.52 = $11.48
   • Percentage reduction: \( \frac{11.48}{150} \times 100 \approx 7.65% \)

2. For the second check:

   • Original amount: $443.75
   • Final amount: $409.81
   • Reduction: $443.75 - $409.81 = $33.94
   • Percentage reduction: \( \frac{33.94}{443.75} \times 100 \approx 7.65% \)

It appears both checks were reduced by about the same percentage (approximately 7.65%).

Now, applying this percentage reduction to the check of $906.25:

• Estimated reduction: \( 906.25 \times 0.0765 \approx 69.23 \)
• Estimated final amount: \( 906.25 - 69.23 \approx 837.02 \)

So, your check of $906.25 might end up being approximately $837.02.
