In order to solve this problem, we need to calculate 
of 
. The key word "of" is indicative of multiplication; however, we need to start by converting the percentage into a decimal because you cannot multiply a number by a percent.
We can convert a percent into a decimal by moving the decimal two places to the left:
Next, we can multiply:
Remember, we are taking 
off the original price, which means we need to subtract.

This question is asking us to solve for the actual size of the length of the rectangle, therefore, we first need to recall which side is considered to be the length of the rectangle.
In this example, the length of the rectangle is 
. We can set up a proportion to solve for the actual length of the rectangle, 
.
Next, we cross multiply and solve for 
:
