Why does this not work? 127.00 - 25% = 92.75 I'm confused. I hate math. Seems to me that to get 75% all you have to do is remove (subtract) 25%. Can you explain this to me? 50 years old and I'm still trying to understand basic math lol
The problem said for the third tree it was equal to 3/4 the price of the second tree.
3/4 is 75%. You're doing 1/4 - 25%. You suppose to multiply 127.00 by 75% or 0.75
3/4 is 75%. You're doing 1/4 - 25%. You suppose to multiply 127.00 by 75% or 0.75
I guess my mind has always wanted to simplify math. To just subtract 25% of the total in my mind should have left 75% of the total.... I'm confusing myself again,, lol...I know I'm just looking at it all wrong. Did the same thing in school too.
Colleen, you are right that subtracting 25% of $127.00 should leave you with 75%. 25% of $127.00 is $31.75 (127.00/4 OR 127.00 x .25) Chelleanne's way requires only 1 step, where using 25% first requires two steps
let x be the price of the first tree=63.50
the second tree=2x=2(63.50)
=127
the third tree=3/4x
=3/4(127)
=95.25
