Jay walks 2 1/4 miles which if you double it so the denominators are e same for both 2 1/4 and 1 1/8 then your answer will be 18/8 (Jay) and 9/8 (Reggie). Meaning that Reggie walks have the distance Jay walks.
I was going to answer but she gave you the answer sooo
Hi there!
Your question:
Sales fall from 300 per week to 270 per week what's the percentage change?
My answer:
The formula for calculating percent change is as follows:
[(y2 - y1)/y1]*100=your percent change
y2= first value
y1=second value
Plug the numbers in:
[(300-270)/300]*100
[30/300]*100
0.1*100
10
Therefore, the percent change is 10%
Hope this helps! Let me know if it's incorrect so I can fix it:)
Given:
Jake bought 3 drawing pens for $8.07.
Each pen costs the same amount.
To find:
How much did he spend for one pen?
Solution:
Let x be the cost of each pen. Then
Cost of three pens = 3x
Jake bought 3 drawing pens for $8.07.
Divide both sides by 3.
Therefore, he spend $2.69 for one pen.
