Answer 5

so is it $1.50 in october for a flower

Answer 6

if there was a 20% increase in october, then find 80% of $1.50, which is $1.20.

Answer 7

so it would cost $1.20 in september, and $1.50 in october

Answer 17

okay:)

Answer 18

anyways, I'll explain

Answer 19

so, if the price increased from something to $1.50 by 20%, then you would have to work backwards to find the price

Answer 20

so do 100-20 to get 80%

Answer 21

The answer choices I have is either September or October and the by choices are 30,75,190 so it couldnt be 400

Answer 22

so 80% of 1.50 is 1.20

Answer 23

I got 1.25 for that

Answer 24

I know, but wait, we need to find October's money earned

Answer 25

I forgot, what is the other class?

Answer 26

can you take a screenshot

Answer 27

never mind, I get it

Answer 28

find the price of october

Answer 29

by doing $1.20*700

Answer 30

then, 40% of what you get

Answer 31

so 40% of 840

Answer 32

which is 336

Answer 33

So what is the answer?

Answer 34

AAAH, forgot what I said

Answer 35

i will check my flvs account

Answer 36

Answer 37

how did you get $1.25

Answer 38

for Part A

Answer 39

I asked that question before to somebody else and they gave me the answer, 1.25

Answer 40

okay, so if it is 1.25

Answer 41

then do 1.25 times 900

Answer 42

then do 40% of that

Answer 43

then do 1.50*700

Answer 44

and 40% of that

Answer 45

you should get 450 and 420

Answer 46

so then subtract 450-420

Did September or October earn more money?
