Question 1085991
<pre>
Third number = N
First number = N-(30% of N) = N-(0.30N) = 1.00N - 0.30N = 0.70N
Second number = N-(40% of N) = N-(0.40N) = 1.00N - 0.40N = 0.60N
</pre>
What percent is the second of the first?
<pre>
What percent is 0.60N of 0.70N?

{{{IS/OF = (0.60N)/(0.70N) = (0.60cross(N))/(0.70cross(N)) = 0.60/0.70 = 0.8571428571 = "85.71428571%"}}}
