I don't know if I did it right but here's my guess. I think you multiply 7 by 20% and that gives you 1.40 as a result. Compared to the other method I used (division), I'm pretty sure I'm right since the other result was 35. Doesn't make sense if the end amount was $7.
I have no clue what the answer would be, I’ve worked on it for 25 minutes, I will get back to you if I figure it out :,)
1.) 3/4
2.) It snowed 1/4 more on Tuesday than it did on Monday.
If I am correct, it would be dropped at -3, side adding to negative numbers make them increase to positive numbers.
Simultaneous equations
Jamar=J
Josh=j
4J=j
20+J=2j
Then
4J=j
-4 (J)=-4(2j-20)
So
0=-7j+80
7j=80
j=80÷7
