<PRE><B>Question 969405</B>
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
