you find 65% of 226 and then you subtract it from 226.

65% of 226 is equal to .65 * 226 which is equal to 146.9.

226 - 146.9 is equal to 79.1.

65% off of 226 is equal to 79.1.

in one shot, the formula would be:

65% off of 226 is equal to 226 - .65 * 226 = 226 - 146.9 = 79.1

65% off of 226 can also be shown as 226 - .65 * 226 which can be shown as (1 - .65) * 226 which can then shown as .35 * 226.

.35 * 226 = 79.1
