It's a string.  You got the "word" of a string of text.  That is a string operation.  

You now have to tell it to be a number or AS will børk when trying to subtract a string from a number.

And for those who don't know what "bork" means:

Hello I have this 
set topReport to do shell script "top -n1 -l1"
set totalUsage to get word 29 of topReport

set totalUsage2 to 100 - totalUsage

and I see this 
error "No es posible convertir \"50.0\" en tipo number." number -1700 from "50.0" to number

not possible to convert 50.0 in type number


but it's already a number, I also tried to suffix "as number" in the set totalUsage line, but won't work. If I try manually set totalUsage2 to 100 - 50.2 it works

why?
