Question

Landen spent L hours at the beach last weekend. Mateo spent 15% fewer hours at the beach than landen did.

For this case we have the following variable:

• L: number of hours Landen spent at the beach

We have then that Matthew spent 15% fewer hours at the beach than landen did.

Therefore, the number of hours Mateo spent at the beach is:

$L - 0.15L = 0.85 L$

Answer:

The number of hours Mateo spent at the beach is:

$L - 0.15L = 0.85 L$

Answer 2

Mateo spent L-15% hours at the beach
