56 pennies, you should find 20% of 70 to get 14 and subtract that from 70 to get you answer.
56 pennies. That is, 70 ∗ 100 100 − 20 = 70 ∗ 100 80 = 70 ∗ 5 4 = 5 4 ∗ 70 = 4 ∗ 14 = 56
After calculating 20% of 70 pennies, which is 14 pennies, and subtracting that from the total, we find that 70 pennies decreased by 20% results in 56 pennies. This shows how to apply percentage calculations to a total. Thus, the final answer is 56 pennies.
