John spent 40% of his earnings last month on rent and 30% less than what he spent on rent to purchase a new dishwasher. What percent of last month's earnings did John have left over?
Let John's salary be x
Rent = 40% of x = 40 ÷ 100 x = 0.4x
Dishwasher = 70% of rent (i.e. 30% less than) = 70 ÷ 100 (0.4x) = 0.7 x 0.4x = 0.28x

Dishwasher = 70% of rent (i.e. 30% less than) = 70 ÷ 100 (0.4x) = 0.7 x 0.4x = 0.28x
Total money spent = 0.4x + 0.28x = 0.68x
So John spent 0.68x100% of his salary = 68%
What is remaining = 100% - 68% = 32%
Answer: 32%

What is Telegram?
Telegram’s stand out feature is its encryption scheme that keeps messages and media secure in transit.

A messaging service that claims to keep your data safe.Why do we say claims? When dealing with security, you always want to leave room for scrutiny, and a few cryptography experts have criticized the system. Overall, any level of encryption is better than none, but a level of discretion should always be observed with any online connected system, even Telegram.
