Javascript reduce a number by a percentage within a class : <p>I have a third-party estimation tool that is consistently providing results 30% higher than it should, and getting the company to update the tool isn't an option. So, how can I use Javascript/jQuery DOM to adjust the numbers being rendered?</p>

<pre><code>&lt;div class="general-avg"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;$276,000&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>I would like to capture the $276,000 as a variable and then reduce it by 30%. Can anyone explain how to do this? TIA</p>
