It's half of 10% of $300. You just move the decimal one place to the left and chop that number in half. That's something you can just see when you look at it

Step 1: Remove the % Step 2: 100-95 = 5 Step 3: 5 x 3 = 15 Step 4: 300 - 15 = 285 If you still don’t get it let me know and i’ll explain why this works
