@iGreen can you help? I was told to ask you.

Answer 7

@phi can you help me set this up?

Answer 8

What's 80 - 50?

Answer 9

It's 30

Answer 10

I think it's asking what percentage is the price he rose..

Answer 11

I could if I knew what they meant by value. iGreen thinks it means profit. that sounds good

Answer 12

but i put that and i got the answer wrong several times

Answer 13

I mean i can try again though

Answer 14

what number did you put in ?

Answer 15

No, 30 isn't the answer.

Answer 16

I think its asking for the percent it rose

Answer 17

Divide 30 to the price she sold it for..

Answer 18

he*

Answer 19

Okay

Answer 20

I get 2.7 if i round up

Answer 21

You divided the wrong way.

It's 30 / 80 not 80 / 30.

Answer 22

because i know ___% of 50 is 80. and that ___% * 50 = 80

Answer 23

but i don't know how to find the percent.

Answer 24

I am *guessing* they want 80/50 as a percent?

Answer 25

maybe that's what they are asking

Answer 26

This question is poorly written..

Answer 27

Yeah it is

Answer 28

yes, I don't like questions where they do not define their terms.
