Step-by-step explanation:
If Reginald answered 78% correctly out of a total 100%, we can subtract 78 from 100:
100 - 78 = 22
He answered 22% of the question incorrectly. But how do we find the bottom number? Remember what we said earlier. The <u>total</u> is 100%. He got 22% out of 100% wrong. Wouldn't that be
?
Now that we know our fraction, we can reduce it. Let's start by dividing our fraction in half:
= 
Can we reduce that any more? No, because 11 can not be divided by anything else.
If you want the first fraction, go with
, but if they want a reduced fraction, then
would be best.
I really think its to the 772
Is the first number supposed to be $200,000? If it is then the increase is $50,000. Divide $50,000 by the original cost of the house (200,000) which is 0.25. Multiply that number by 100 to get % and the increase is 25%.
