I’m guessing you meant to say “Nolan took 85 seconds.”
Ok, so this is what I think.
First work out 15% from 85
10%=8.5
5%=4.25
8.5+4.25=12.75
Since Kong took 15% fewer seconds that Nolan, it’s 85-12.75 that equals 72.25 seconds
If you meant “How many seconds did Nolan take?”
Then it would be the same... but a different charge
15% of 85 =12.75
It would be 85+12.75 that equals 97.75 seconds
Correct me if I’m wrong cause I want to learn from my mistakes
