Question

In a video game, Val scored 30%, percent fewer points than Peeta. Peeta scored 1060 points.

How many points did Val score?

Answer 1

742 points

Explanation:

If Peeta's score is 100% and Val scored 30%, percent fewer points then Val must have scored (100 - 30)% of Peeta's score.

Therefore, if Peeta scored 1060 points then;

Val's score = 70% × 1060

= 742

Val scored 742 points. This is 70% of (or 30% fewer than) Peeta's score.
