each morning, sleepwell hotel offers its guests a free continental breakfast with pastries and orange juice. the hotel served 440 gallons of orange juice last year. this year, the hotel served 30% less orange juice than it did the previous year. how much was served this year? gallons

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate 30% of 440

To find 30% of 440, we use the formula $0.30\times440$.
$0.30\times440 = 132$

Step2: Subtract from last year's amount

This year's amount is last year's amount minus 30% of last year's amount. So we calculate $440 - 132$.
$440 - 132 = 308$

Answer:

308
