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

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
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%

Spiking bond yields driving sharp losses in tech stocks
A spike in interest rates since the start of the year has accelerated a rotation out of high-growth technology stocks and into value stocks poised to benefit from a reopening of the economy. The Nasdaq has fallen more than 10% over the past month as the Dow has soared to record highs, with a spike in the 10-year US Treasury yield acting as the main catalyst.
