Explanation

Approximate the values: 30% of 1400 = 420. Then 20 * 9 = 180. The result is 420 - 180 = 240.

AI explanation

Approximating the values gives the expression 30% of 1400 - 20 x 9. Calculating the first term yields 30/100 x 1400 = 420, and the second term is 180. Subtracting the two parts gives 420 - 180. The result is 240.
