Let 1st number be = x
Thus second number = x - 4
Now
(x) + (x - 4) = 72
2x - 4 = 72
2x = 76
x = 38
1st number is 38 thus 2nd number is (38 - 4) = 34
The answer is the first one
Answer: She's wrong.
Step-by-step explanation:
Numbers of hours used in solving homework last week = 15
Numbers of hours used in solving homework this week = 18
Percentage increase = (18 - 15) / 15 × 100
= 3/15 × 100
= 1/5 × 100
= 20%
Since Maxie said that she spent 120% more time doing homework this week, she's wrong. She only spent 20% more.
