You can find 30% of 240 by multiplying 240 by 0.3.
Then subtract the number you get from 240.
In an equation this looks like: 240 - 240(0.3)

Shadow:
The suit is $240 and is being marked down by 30%
This means that there is a 30% reduction of the current price.
So we find 30% of the current price, which is 240.
Then subtract that number, 30% of 240, from $240
This gives us our new price of this $240 suit now marked down by 30%

You can find 30% of 240 by multiplying 240 by 0.3
0.3 is the same as 30%
Shadow:
To convert a percent to a decimal, just move the dot two places to the left.
