Let a = runner 2, a + 500 = runner 1.
a + (a + 500) = 5000
2a + 500 = 5000
2a = 4500
a = 2250
Runner 1 ran 2,750 meters. Runner 2 ran 2,250 meters.
Can you make the answer clearer. I would be glad to help you. I just don't understand where it says "the sum of three numbers is 16 the sum of twice the first number"
0.175 = 17.5%
0.14 = 14 %
0.86 = 86%
0.21 = 21%
0.178 = 17.8%
0.81 = 81%
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO TO FIND THE PERCENTAGE IS MOVE THE POINT TWO (2) PLACES TO THE RIGHT FROM IT'S PREVIOUS POSITION...
