    The percent decrease we are going to use is "x"

    If something decreases by 30%, then you are actually multiplying the number by 70%, which is 100% - 30% = 70%.

    Therefore:

    60 (1 - x) = 39

    60 - 60x = 39

    -60x = - 21

    x = 0.35 or 35%

    The percent decreased 35% from 60 to 39
