OpenStudy (math_bender_15):

thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wait

OpenStudy (math_bender_15):

what

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i thought it was asking what is 65% of 60 but it's really saying that it was reduced by 65% if the item costed 100% and now you're reducing it by 65% what would you get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how much % is the item now

OpenStudy (math_bender_15):

21

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you put 100% into decimal you get 1.00 minus the two to get 1.00-.65=.35 .35*60=21
