-6 is the answer that you want
You can work out the difference between the numbers by taking the smaller one away from the larger one:
70.20 - 65 = 5.20
Then you can divide the difference (5.20) by the original number (65) to get how many percent it is of 65 in decimal form:
5.20/65 = 0.08
Then you can times it by 100, to get the percentage:
0.08 * 100 = 8%
This means there was a 8% price increase in $65 to get to $70.20
Hope this helps! :)
I need more information to answer this question.
In math, "of" almost always means "times".
"The property" is 7/8 acre.
So "1/4 of the property" means "1/4 times 7/8 acre".
1/4 x 7/8 = (1 x 7) / (4 x 8)
That's 7/32 .
Mr. Lopez hasn't plowed up anything yet, but his plan is to plow up 7/32 acre for his garden.
