In a 90-minute soccer match, 10% of the time is lost due to ball retention, 10% of the remaining time is lost due to fouls, and 10% of the time that remains is lost due to warnings. How many minutes of effective playing time will there be in the soccer match?

2. Solution Steps

The initial total time is 90 minutes.
The time lost due to ball retention is 10%10\% of 9090 minutes, which is 0.10×90=90.10 \times 90 = 9 minutes.
The remaining time after ball retention is 909=8190 - 9 = 81 minutes.
The time lost due to fouls is 10%10\% of the remaining time (81 minutes), which is 0.10×81=8.10.10 \times 81 = 8.1 minutes.
The remaining time after fouls is 818.1=72.981 - 8.1 = 72.9 minutes.
The time lost due to warnings is 10%10\% of the remaining time (72.9 minutes), which is 0.10×72.9=7.290.10 \times 72.9 = 7.29 minutes.
The effective playing time is the time remaining after warnings, which is 72.97.29=65.6172.9 - 7.29 = 65.61 minutes.
