There's more than one way to do this problem.
Try this: Mult. both 109 and 5 by 2, obtaining 218 and 10.
What is 218 div. by 10? Do this in your head.
Answer:
The range is from 147 to 153 orders per day
Step-by-step explanation:
orders varies by 2% means that orders can be LOWER THAN THE AVERAGE, or HIGHER THAN THE AVERAGE.
That is, by 2%.
First, we need to find the decimal of 2%, so
2/100 = 0.02
We multiply this with the average number of order, 150, to get the varying amount:
0.02 * 150 = 3
Thus, the range would be:
150 - 3 = 147
150 + 3 = 153
The range is from 147 to 153 orders per day
