Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let larger number be L

and

smaller number be S

The larger is 1 more than twice smaller, so we can write:

L = 1 + 2S

4 times larger is 9 times smaller, so we can write:

4L = 9S

Let's put 1st equation in 2nd and solve for S first:

4L = 9S

4(1 + 2S) = 9S

4 + 8S = 9S

S = 4

Now,

L = 1 + 2S

L = 1 + 2(4)

L = 9

The larger number is, thus, equal to 9

Bernice estimated that 69% of 242 is 168. Is her estimate reasonable?
ycow [4]
Her estimate is not reasonable.

Since she estimated 69%, you could do either of these options. You could...
A. Divide 242 (or .5) to show how much half off would be, then compare her estimate with half of 242 (121). OR...
B. Simply divide 242 by 69% (.69) and compaor her estimate to the exact amount (166.98).

I hope this helps!
