All right Literacy seeking shmoop er's here we go We're

00:06

on number four of twelve technologies forever changed the music

00:09

industry And let's just get down to a paragraph to

00:11

skip one and just go right there Record companies used

00:15

to advance some money to an artist to record his

00:17

or for album like we just fix that question and

00:21

then they would deduce the advance from the proceeds of

album sales are how do you deduce the advance There's

00:29

a typo here That's my guess Well the sentence uses

00:35

the word deduced to me subtracting the money advanced to

the artist from record sales Proceed Unfortunately deduces like a

00:50

that more closely resembles subtract or minus or run taking

00:56

01:00

isn't a verb but you can't minus something Read act

01:05

01:08

every e mail they send like they headed or cut

01:10

01:13

mark here So moving on on ly deduct means to

01:17

subtract And that's the answer And it's a good guess

01:21

here that in real life if you saw this it

01:23

would just be a typo because they're hidden either instead

01:26

of t at the end So that's it The answer

01:28

is being were deducted
