lou 8 jacob

Answer 1

Lou sold 5 more earings than Jacob

Explanation:

Step 1

Find 20% of 200

For fraction: divide 20 by 100 and remove the % sign.

`{20}\%=(20)/(100)`

For decimal: move the decimal point 2 places to the left and remove the % sign.

`{20}\%=0.2`

Multiply the decimal or fraction by the quantity that equals 100%

`100`%
`=200`

`(20)/(100) *200=0.2*200=40`

20% of 200 is 40

Lou sold 40 rings

Step 2

Find how much more or less earings did Lou sell than Jacob

40-35=5

So Lou sold 5 more rings than Jacob

Final Answer:

Lou sold 5 more earings than Jacob
