Answer 2

Answer:

the accurate mathematical claim of the product would be 112.5

Step-by-step explanation:

On top of the container cover it says that it was 25% more pads and it was originally just 90 pads before they added the 25%. However, 25% of 90 is 22.5 which comes up to 112.5 if added together.A percent is any number over 100, so 25% is 25 over 100, this means that 25% can be written as 25/100. Now, any number in fractional form is the same as division so 25% can also be written as a decimal, we just move the decimal point 2 places to the right of 25 which results to 0.25. As we found out above 25% equals 0.25 so we can solve this problem using decimals. All we need to do is multiply 90 by 0.25 which gives us 22.5 and when added to 90 it gives us 112.5 as a result. The product however claims that it has 115 pads which is mathematically incorrect, the accurate mathematical claim of the product should be 112.5.
