<human>:  A pole is 20 meters long. It got cut in a way that left it 30% shorter. How long is the pole?
<bot>: How long is the cut-away part of the pole? ** The cut-away part of the pole is 30/100 * 20 = <<30/100*20=6>>6 meters long.
How long is the pole after the cut? ** So the pole is left at the length of 20 - 6 = <<20-6=14>>14 meters.
