73 to 50, roughly. divide the two. 50 is ~68% of 73.

therefore, $49,810 is ~32% less than $73,060.

i'm terrible at math though and could be wrong. amirite?

73060 - 49180 = 23880
23880 / 73060 = .327 (approx. -- exact = .32685464)
.327 * 100 = 32.7% lower

To check:
73060 - (73060 * .327) = 49169.38

w00t, i was right. BOOYAH. 4th grade arithmetic don't fail me now!


edit: it's interesting that JBJ and I went about the problem two completely different ways but still came up with the same answer. behold, the individuality of the mind.

Thanks to you too but when I saw him divide the difference with the highest number - it was easier to remember for the future
