Yes that is what you should do, subtract



??
She asked for 30% of 950 right?

So all she would do is, 950 X .30, which is 285



You're totally right...don't bother explaining anymore.

Reading this thread from top to bottom is freakin' hilarious!

.7x950



ditto! this solution is a one stop shop.

.7 x 950 = 665 simple!



She want's 30% of 950...NOT 70%



She said 'What's 30% OFF 950'

Re: Quick and stupid question from the mathematically challenged...



you're the best - my FH just began teaching at a yoga place, and I was told I can get 30 % off of a class, or a package - so, one class would normally be 19.00, but she said 30% would take off 4.50 - but if I wanted to get a larger package - 50 classes would be 950, and then I could knock off 30% and pay in 3 installments - sounds like a better deal, but like I said, I am mathematically brain dead, and didn't want to bother her with figuring it out!!!

Good deal though, huh? 50 yoga classes for $665.00, paid in 3 installments, which according to my calculator equals 221.6666666666666667 or somehting like that...

I say we just keep this thing going - i am sure all the women are bound to get curious when they see 135 responses to this post... or 30% of that - whatever THAT would be... Just kidding!
