Brett Hurley · Answer 1

215 is my answer. I did 250 *.14 (because it is a percentage) and then I took the product and subtracted it from 250. So 250 - 35, which equals 215.

100% - 14% = 86%

86 / 100 = 0.86 : This is how you get the decimal form of a percentage.

250 * 0.86 = 215.

He sold 215 cars in July.
