Question

If Jack bought baseball cards and his brother took 30% of them what percent of the cards does Jack now have *

Answer 1

Well it would be 70% of them because Jack had 100% and 30% minus 100% is 70%

Answer 2

The percentage would be 70%. The total amount of cards Jack has is 100%, since his brother took 30%, you subtract 100% by 30%. You’ll get 70%.
