Answer:

It will take the worm 7 days to get to the top of the well.

Step-by-step explanation:

the well is 37 feet deep

the worm climbs up 7 feet, but loses 2 feet through the night

That means the worm only really climbs 5 feet a day.

So, if you subtract 5 from 37, 6 times, you'll get 7 feet left to go. And sense the worm climbs 7 feet a day, the last day the worm will climb his way to the top without slipping back down.

Hopefully this makes sense.

sergey [27]

Answer:

No, It is not equal to a 60% discount.

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of this. I go into a store and everything is 50% off and I have a coupon myself that is a 50% off discount for a specific item. It may seem like the item is now free, but it isn't. Imagine the item was $1 before any discount. Then the store took 50% off of the $1, leaving it at $0.50. So now with my discount of 50% off the item I will be taking this 50% off of $0.50 = my final discounted cost of $0.25.

Hope I helped you understand :)
