Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "0.03" was replaced by "(03/100)".

Step  1  :

             3 
 Simplify   ———
            100

Equation at the end of step  1  :

         3 
  30 -  ———
        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 :

           30     30 • 100
     30 =  ——  =  ————————
           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:

 30 • 100 - (3)     2997
 ——————————————  =  ————
      100           100 

Final result :

  2997            
  ———— = 29.97000 
  100
