Nick has 60 cans. Each can takes up 30 square inches of space before being compacted and 20% of that amount after being compacted. How much space do all the cans take up after being compacted?
First find the total amount of space the cans take up before being compacted: 60 cans * 30 sq in / can = <<60*30=1800>>1800 sq in
Then multiply that amount by the percentage of space they take up after being compacted: 1800 sq in * 20% = <<1800*20*.01=360>>360 sq in
