Can someone help me with this question ..

The doctor tells the patient to cut back on coffee. The patient usually has four 8-oz cups of coffee per day. If the doctor told him to cut back by 25%, how many ounces of coffee can the patient have each day?
(Enter whole number only)

the answer is
8 ounces for 100% (each day)
so if it must be cut back for 25%, the patient will drink 8 *25 / 100 =2 ounces per day
