Okay. So first, tell me, what is 100% of Jane's original house in feet?

anonymous · Answer

ok so what is the first thing that we need to do on this question to help us find the answer?

anonymous · Answer

21.39%

anonymous · Answer

is the 100%

jojokiw3 · Answer

You shouldn't need to do any calculation here. 100% of Jane's old house is in the question. Does that make sense? There's a number in the question that tells you the size of Jane's old house.

anonymous · Answer

ok so now that we have the 100% what would be the next step to help us to find the answer

anonymous · Answer

find the decrease

jojokiw3 · Answer

21.39 feet was your decrease. Not the size of Jane's old house.

anonymous · Answer

ok so what is the original 100% from the question?
and how can we find a way to find the decrease?

@suppa_lova You told him that 21.39 was 100% of Jane's old house, which is untrue. I am merely making the distinction known...

anonymous · Answer

actually if you want to be technical i was agreeing with you that the 100% was in the question

jojokiw3 · Answer

He needs to find the size of Jane's house first, otherwise he can't move on to the next step without getting it wrong.

jojokiw3 · Answer

How about this Redhulk. Jane moved from a house how big?

Brad had a small gathering at a local steakhouse. The steakhouse offers three dinner platters which vary by size and price. They ordered 4 of the 6-ounce platters, 2 of the 8-ounce platters, and 3 of the 11-ounce platters.

Steak Platter Prices
•	6-ounce	$9.95
•	8-ounce	$12.95
•	11-ounce	$15.95

If a gratuity of 16% was added to the bill, which of the following is closest to the total of the steak platters and gratuity, ignoring sales tax?
$18
$132
$155
$128
