Hey there,
Let's say that the first piece is x cm
1st = x
2nd = x + 25%
3rd = x - 25%
100% = 240 cm
1% = 240 / 100
      = 2.4cm
x + x + 25 + x - 25 = 100
3x + 25 - 25 = 100
3x = 100 - 25 + 25
3x = 100
3x = 240 cm
x = 240 / 3
   = 80 cm
1st piece = 80 cm
2nd piece = 80 + (25% x 80)
                = 80 + 20
                = 100cm
3rd piece = 80 cm - (25% x 80)
                = 80 cm - 20
                = 60cm

Hope this helps :))

Is the sum of two integers always greater than the difference between them? Why or why not?
Sauron [17]
Yes because the gap is one less than the bigger of the two integers, plus you are adding a little bit more to the bigger integer so the sum will always be bigger than the difference.

Answer:

I think the closest would be 41.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

If you take the number of passengers left on the plane and divide by the total number of passengers that were on the plane in the beginning, you would get 58.5%. That's the % of how many people are left on the plane. So, you would then do 100%-58.5% to get the answer 41.5%. Hope this helps! :)
