Question

Austin has 125% more books than his younger sister. If his sister has 24 books, how many books does he have? Write your proportion below...and solve *

Answer 1

Answer:54

Explanation:

If we know he has 125% more books than his sister who has 24 books, then we would write 24×125%

That equations equals 30

Now you have to add 24+30 because he has 30 more books than her, so he has her amount plus his.

Answer 2

30 books

Explanation:

125%= 1.25

1.25 times 24= 30
