Question

Under Todd’s new cable television plan, his bill averages $63 per month. This is 140% of his average monthly bill last year when he had the basic cable package. What was his average monthly cable bill last year?

Answer 1

45

Explanation:

translation :

140% of x = $63

x = $63 ÷ 1.4

x = $45

FUN FACTS :

interesting: 100% means double that number or times 2

if a price is $20 & it increases 100% in price that means its $20 times 2 or $40

percent means per 100

cent means 100 in latin

that's why the decimal moves 2 spaces

for the 2 zeros in 100
