Hello, please help me with this math problem and please use one of these examples shown in the image. (7th grade)

Answer 1

First, let's figure out the answer. Then, we will put it in the format shown.

234 is 10% less than previous year number.

Let the previous year number be "x", so we can say:

234 is 10% less than x

As equation, we can write:

`234=x-0.1x`

** Note, 10% = 0.1

Let's solve the equation for x:

`\begin{gathered} 234=x-0.1x \\ 234=0.9x \\ x=(234)/(0.9) \\ x=260 \end{gathered}`

There were 260 nesting turtles in the sactuary last year.
