Michelle has visit 30 like houses in Virginia and Maryland 20% of the light houses are in Virginia how many more light houses did she visit in Maryland than in Virginia

Answer 1

Answer: Michelle visited 24 more lighthouses in Maryland than in Virginia.

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the exercise, you know that Michelle visited a total of 30 lighthhouses.

You can express the percent in decimal form by dividing it by 100. Then:

`20\%=(20\%)/(100)=0.2`

Let be "V" the number of lighthouses Michelle visited in Virginia. Since it is the 20% of the 30 lighthouses, this is:

`V=(30)(0.2)\\\\V=6`

Let be "M" the number of lighthouses Michelle visited in Maryland (
`M`). This is:

`M=30-V\\\\M=30-6\\\\M=24`

Therefore, you can determine that Michelle visited 24 more lighthouses in Maryland than in Virginia.
