Question

In a video game, Val scored 30% fewer points than peeta. Peeta scored 1060 points. How many points did Val score

Answer 1

Answer:

Val scored 742 points

Step-by-step explanation:

Let P = score of Peeta = 1060

V = score of Val (unknown)

Val scored 30 per cent fewer points than Peeta. This means that Val's score was 70 per cent of what Peeta score.

Val's score = 70/100 * (Peeta's score)

                   = 0.7 * 1060

                   = 742

More explanation:

Val's score was 30 per cent less than Peeta's score. If Peeta's score is 1060, then 30 per cent of this is 318. This means that Val's score was 318 less than Peeta, which is 1060 - 318 = 742. This is nothing but 70 per cent of Peeta's score!

Peeta scored 106010601060 points, so 106010601060 is 100\%100%100, percent of Peeta's points.

Val scored 30\%30%30, percent less than Peeta did.

Hint #22 / 4

Percent means per hundred, so \blueD{70\%}70%start color #11accd, 70, percent, end color #11accd is equivalent to \blueD{\dfrac{70}{100}}  

100

70

​  

start color #11accd, start fraction, 70, divided by, 100, end fraction, end color #11accd which is also equal to \blueD{70\div 100}70÷100start color #11accd, 70, divided by, 100, end color #11accd.

\blueD{70\div 100 = 0.7}70÷100=0.7start color #11accd, 70, divided by, 100, equals, 0, point, 7, end color #11accd

Hint #33 / 4

Now we can find Val's score.

\blueD{0.7} \times \greenD{1060}=7420.7×1060=742start color #11accd, 0, point, 7, end color #11accd, times, start color #1fab54, 1060, end color #1fab54, equals, 742
