A box of cereal is reduced by 30%. The new box contains 35 ounces. How many ounces did the old box contain?

the entire expression should be subtracted from 30. to subtract the quantity, distribute the negative sign, which changes the signs on the terms. so, the –2 changes to positive and gets added to 30 instead of subtracted from it.

hope this ! ^w^
