mathstudent55 · Answer

The wording is tricky. Changing a little will change whether it's true or false.

mathstudent55 · Answer

You don't need to do any further calculation. Use the number I calculated and compare and see what you conclude.

anonymous · Answer

nevermind, i got it thank you

mathstudent55 · Answer

The number of VCRs in 1990 is 63. Is that less than 10% of the number in 2000 which is 88. 10% of 88 is 8.8. Is 63 less than 8.8?

mathstudent55 · Answer

There is no 6.3
