So i have a mathematical problem. If somebody has a 1% chance of dying, and by working out, he decreases his chance of dying by 47%, what is the probability of him dying in the end?

percentages are the source of undo befuddlement, use probabilities instead: 0.01*0.47 ...of course someone can attempt to interpret the english "decreases ... by" but this answer should be clearly defensible at least.
