Answer:

$25,810

Since it says "about", you might need to round...check the directions on your paper. If so, it's "about" $26,000

Explanation:

Two ways to solve:

Find 11% of 29,000 and subtract that number from 29,000 or realize that subtracting 11% from the whole number leaves 89%, and multiplying by that.

Convert percentages to decimals by dividing by 100:

29,000 x 0.11 = 3,190

29,000 - 3,190 = 25,810

29,000 x 0.89 = 25,810

Use whichever method hurts your brain less. :) My brain used to hate these problems.
