How many points did Val score?

 points

Hint #11 / 4

Peeta scored $1060$1060 points, so $1060$1060 is $100\%$100, percent of Peeta's points.

Val scored $30\%$30, percent less than Peeta did.

$100\%-30\%=70\%$100, percent, minus, 30, percent, equals, 70, percent

Val's score was $70\%$70, percent of Peeta's score.

$\blueD{70\%} \times \greenD{1060} = \text{?}$start color #11accd, 70, percent, end color #11accd, times, start color #1fab54, 1060, end color #1fab54, equals, start text, question mark, end text

Hint #22 / 4

Percent means per hundred, so $\blueD{70\%}$start color #11accd, 70, percent, end color #11accd is equivalent to $\blueD{\dfrac{70}{100}}$start color #11accd, start fraction, 70, divided by, 100, end fraction, end color #11accd which is also equal to $\blueD{70\div 100}$start color #11accd, 70, divided by, 100, end color #11accd.

$\blueD{70\div 100 = 0.7}$start color #11accd, 70, divided by, 100, equals, 0, point, 7, end color #11accd

Hint #33 / 4

Now we can find Val's score.

$\blueD{0.7} \times \greenD{1060}=742$start color #11accd, 0, point, 7, end color #11accd, times, start color #1fab54, 1060, end color #1fab54, equals, 742

Hint #44 / 4

Val scored $742$742 points.
