Question

A pizzeria sold $200 worth of pepperoni pizza on Tuesday. On Wednesday, the pizzeria made 1/10 fewer sales than Tuesday how much less money did the pizzeria make on pepperoni pizzas on Wednesday

Answer 1

$20

Explanation:

Since it's 1/10 fewer, you take 200 and take away a zero basically dividing it by ten making it 20

Answer 2

Answer: The pizzaria made $20 less on Wednesday than Tuesday.

1/10 of 200 is 20.

if you subtract 20 (the $20 less than Tuesday) from $200 you get $180, which is 9/10 of $200.

[this shows two different ways to find the answer, finding 1/10 or 9/10 of $200.]
