They are saying that they have this conference room mapped out on a poster board kinda like a road map. But if you put something that big on a board it wont fit. So they had to make it small enough to fit it. When they say that 1/2 on the board is equal to 12 feet in the real room, They are tell you the scale you have to go by. So then they give you 3 1/2 inches on the board. You would see how many 1/2 inches there are in 3 1/2, which is 7, and multiply 7 by 12. The answer would be 84 feet. So they are say that 3 1/2 inches on the poster board, represents 84 feet in the real room.
There is no distance amount so I’m going to assume the question is asking how many more people traveled farther than Sam... So 250/550=about 37% of them
First, find the difference between $130 and $104. This equals $26, and to find this discount written as a percent, divide $26 by the original cost of the camera. 26/130=0.2, which represents a 20% discount.
