At 1 pm, there were 16 seagulls on the beach. At 3 pm, there were 40 seagulls. What is the constant rate of change?

1 answer:

4 0

<span>The answer is (change of amount) / (change of time). For the change of amount, the numerator is 40 seagulls - 16 seagulls, leaving a total of 24 seagulls. For the change of time, the denominator is 3 pm - 1 pm, leaving a total of a 2 hour difference. The answer becomes 24 seagulls / 2 hours, or 12 seagulls per hour when simplified.</span>

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Ken earned $176 from his part-time job this summer

Amount earned = $ 176

He spent 25% of his money on games

Therefore,

Money spent on games = 176 - 25 % of 176

$\text{Money spent on games } = 176 - \frac{25}{100} \times 176\\\\\text{Money spent on games } = 176 - 0.25 \times 176\\\\\text{Money spent on games } = 176 - 44\\\\\text{Money spent on games } = 132$
