Question

What is the answer to this, and can you explain it please I don't get it!

Answer 1

1. Answer:
2. To find out how many points Val has in the video game, we need to determine the score percentage relative to Peeta's score.
4. Given that Peeta scored 1060, and Val scored 30% fewer than Peeta, we can calculate Val's score as follows:
6. Step 1: Calculate the 30% decrease in Peeta's score:
7. 30% of 1060 = 0.30 * 1060 = 318
9. Step 2: Subtract the decrease from Peeta's score to find Val's score:
10. Val's score = Peeta's score - decrease
11. Val's score = 1060 - 318 = 742
13. Therefore, Val has 742 points in the video game.

Answer 2

Answer:

742 Points

Step-by-step explanation:

Just to make it simpler to read/write, I'm going to shorten Val to V and Peeta to P.

P=1060

V=Px0.7

This is because V has 30% less than P. I like to convert this to a decimal of 0.3. In this situation she has P-0.3P which can be simplified to 0.7P

So then substitute in P=1060, so that V=1060x0.7=742

(remember to add units!)

So Val has 742 Points

If you want me to explain any of this more in-depth, let me know!

Hope this helps :)
