For this question, you have to work backwards, so if she ate a cookie, working backwards, you would have to add, not subtract or divide.

Mary had 5 cookies after she gave half away. So 5 is half of something. 5 x 2 = 10. She had 10 cookies before she gave half to her brother.

Before she had 10, she ate one. So you add one to the ten.(Remember, working backwards). 10+1=11.

She had 11 cookies after she gave half. So 11 x 2 = 22.
She had 22 cookies before she gave half away.
She ate one before she had 22. 22+1=23.
We are finished. Mary started with 23 cookies.

Hope you understand! :)

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

17%

Step-by-step explanation:

First: work out the difference (decrease) between the two numbers you are comparing. Then: divide the decrease by the original number and multiply the answer by 100.

First:

1,200,000 - 995,000 = 205,000

Then:

205,000 / 1,200,000 = 0.17

0.17 × 100% = 17%

I don't think you can because the variables are different. You can only add the same variables.
