Question

At 6:00 A.M. the temperature was 33°F. By noon the temperature had increased by 10°F and by 3:00 P.M. it had increased another 12°F. If at 10:00 P.M. the temperature had decreased by 15°F, how much does the temperature need to rise or fall to return to the original temperature of 33°F?

Answer 1

So let's see here...

6:00 A.M. temperature is 33°F.

12:00 P.M temperature increased by 10°F making it 43°F.

3:00 P.M. temperature increased by another 12°F making it 55°F.

At 10:00 P.M it would decrease by 15°F making it 40°F.

The temperature would need to fall (or decrease) by 7°F to reach the original temperature of 33°F

Hope this helped!
