49 degrees.

So to figure out this type of problem, I believe you need to convert 65% to a decimal value by putting it over a 100 like this:

#65/100=0.65#

So we multiply it by 140 as shown below:

#140*0.65=91#

BUT, we need to subtract it to see what the new degree is. So we do it like this:

#140-91=49#

So I believe the answer is 49 degrees.
