Yes.
ETA: Sorry, the phone was ringing while I was trying to answer your post. It would be $665.

Re: Quick and stupid question from the mathematically challenged...
$950 * .30 = $285
$950 - $285 = $665

Re: Quick and stupid question from the mathematically challenged...
No, you would multiply 950 by 30% gives you 285

She asked for 30% of 950 right?
So all she would do is, 950 X .30, which is 285

$950 * .30 = $285
$950 - $285 = $665
or do $950*.7=$665 ( 100-30=70)
or 10% of 950 is 95- 95 *3=285
I shop alot and went to FIT- retail math was bu best subject

.7x950
ditto! this solution is a one stop shop.
.7 x 950 = 665 simple!
how she got the 7 is from 100 - 30 = 70 then move the decimal once to the left. do this several times and it'll become instant every time you're at a sale!

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...
