Mike…check the wording on this Q (#37; section4). I lose track of what it’s asking for. Can you break it down? Tks!

The value of r is 20/21 times the value of t, where t>0. The value of t is what percent greater than the value of r?

Sure thing. To start, we gotta carefully translate the first sentence. Remember, “is” in a sentence means “=”.

So far so good?

Now let’s deal with the question sentence. It’s asking what percent greater one number is than another number–that’s a percent change question. Another way of asking it would be: what’s the percent change between and ?

Which we would figure out by plugging the values into the percent change formula:

Since we know is the bigger number, we rewrite thusly:

Now we can use the first translation we did to plug in. It’s gonna get a little messy for a minute.

Now remember when you divide fractions you multiply reciprocals, so we can rewrite:

That means is 5% greater than .
