Question

Kong took 15 percent fewer seconds than Nolan took to complete his multiplication timed test. Kong took 858585 seconds.

Answer 1

Answer:

100 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

I've seen this question before. I know you didn't mean to put 858585.

The real question is "Kong took 15% percent fewer seconds than Nolan took to complete his multiplication timed test. Kong took 85 seconds. How many seconds did Nolan take?"

Now let's work!

Kong took 15% fewer seconds than Nolan took.

So Kong took 100%−15%=85%

Whatever Nolan's total was, Kong had 85% of that.

We know Kong took 85 seconds. 85% of Nolan's total is 85 seconds.

=100 seconds. 85%=15 seconds

Which means that Nolan took 100 seconds.

Glad I was able to help!!
