Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "0.41" was replaced by "(41/100)".

Step  1  :

             41
 Simplify   ———
            100

Equation at the end of step  1  :

          41
  129 -  ———
         100

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  100  as the denominator :

            129     129 • 100
     129 =  ———  =  —————————
             1         100   

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

 2.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

 129 • 100 - (41)     12859
 ————————————————  =  —————
       100             100 

Final result :

  12859             
  ————— = 128.59000 
   100
