Question

In a video game, Clare scored 50% more points than Tyler. If Tyler scored 60 points on the video game, how many

points did Clare score?
60
70
80
90
100
Which one

Answer 1

90

Explanation:

so for this, all we have to do is add %50 of the first score to the second one, first lets find out what %50 of that score is

%50 of 60 = 30 (because %50 is half of something)

next, we add that new amount to the first score

60 + 30 = 90

so 90 is %50 more then 60, or 90 is %150 of 60

Answer 2

90

Explanation:

She scored 50% more so scored 1.5x tyler

1.5 * 60 = 90
