Answer 1

@iGreen

Answer 2

sure,

Answer 3

he is drinking additional 82% to his 100%.
(100% is 1280 mL)

so he is taking 182% of the 1280mL

182% of something , >>> something times 1.82.

Answer 4

\(\large\color{r}{ 1280{\tt~ mL}~ ~\cdot~~1.82 }\)

Answer 5

btw, with the same additional intake every day, you will have:

\(\large\color{r}{ f(x)=1280(1.82)^x }\), as your function, for any day x, with whater f(x)

Answer 6

I mean of course it is not a real case though...

Answer 7

he can't be drinking that much water... like going to this function, there will be some constraint for x.

Answer 8

anyway... I gave you the needed assitance

Answer 9

You find 82% of 1280.

Answer 10

Then you add that to 1280.

Answer 11

no need, why? multiply times 1.82

Answer 12

So multiply 0.82 x 1280, then after you get the value of that, add it to 1280.

Answer 13

Where did you get 1.82 from?

Answer 14

but that is longer. It would be simpler to multiply times 1.82

Answer 15

because 100% is the entire percent (which is 1820)
he is taking additional 82% \, that means he is taking 182% percent of 1820.

so multiply 1820 times 1.82 (comverting 182% to decimal)

Answer 16

I think I said that already., @AnswerMyQuestions

Answer 17
