Okay, this is tricky... if you have choices, get 15% of that choice and ADD it to that choice...
if you get 45, then that's the one :P
terenzreignz (terenzreignz):
And it can't possibly be more than 45 :D
OpenStudy (anonymous):
my choices
(0.15)($45)
(1.15)($45)
1 + (0.15)($45)
$45 + 0.15
OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (texaschic101):
it would be 45 + (.15(45)....would that be the 2nd or the 3rd one
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2nd
terenzreignz (terenzreignz):
45 + (0.15)(45) = 45(1+0.15) = 45(1.15) etc :3
