The sum and difference of two numbers |
2018-08-30 |

Saranya pose la question : Hi,
The question is to find the numbers from sum and difference.
The Sum = 14 and the difference = 2
I found in this web site some useful answers. but my kid is going second grade only. She don't know how to do a division or multiplication.
So can you please explain on how to find the answer using only the Addition and Subtraction.

Pre tax and post tax percentages |

Tom pose la question : Hi,
I work in a clothes shop which can also do mail-orders. My Head Office
has sent a report with which we can check the records we keep in store
tally with those at HO.
According to that report we have taken £2578.25 in orders, excluding VAT (20%),
which would therefore be £3093.91 including VAT (2578.25+20%=3093.91).
According to my records, we have taken £3179.32 including VAT, which would be
£2543.45 excluding VAT (3179.32-20%=2543.45).
Why is it that the difference between the VAT inclusive figures (3179.32-3093.91) is +£85.41, but
the difference between the VAT exclusive figures (2543.45-2578.26) is -£34.81?
Now, I can see from the report that 1 order has not been recorded by HO, and I
know that our average order value is around £30, so the -£34.81 makes sense.
But surely both figures should be a minus, regardless of whether they include VAT?
I'm sure there is an obvious answer, but I just cannot see it! Any help would be gratefully
received.
Thanks,
Tom Penny Nom lui répond. |

Ali pose la question :
Hello,
I was looking at the original question that was posted and answered by
your team:
http://mathcentral.uregina.ca/QQ/database/QQ.09.07/s/donna1.html
I used the 7 and 4 as example and not looking for 39 per original
question:
A=7
B=4
7+ 4 =11 and 7-4 = 3
We end up with 11 +3 = 14
A= 14/2 give use 7
B = how do you solve for B or 4 with out knowing anything about 3 or any other numbers ?

Beckie pose la question : I have worked out a set of percentage differences which are all percentage decrease. Should i express them as a negative percentage as -20%? I also need to plot them on a graph and am not sure whether to just use the percentage difference as it is, in which case i get a positive gradient, or include a negative axis and plot them in this way, in which case i would get a negative gradient. I think the slope of the curve will be the same either way so it might not matter! Penny lui répond. |

Sandra pose la question :
I have two numbers (1530 and 1315). How do I calculate the percentage difference.
For example: I have one loader that lifts 1530 lbs. and another loader that lifts 1315 lbs. I know the difference is 215 lbs. How much greater lift capacity does the loader that lifts 1530 lbs. have than the loader that lifts 1315 lbs.?
The formula that I used was:
1530 - 1315 = 215
215/1315 = .163498 or 16.3%
Is this correct?

A parent pose la question : For a school science project, my son Alex is taking measurements of plant growth at regular intervals. As part of the data, he must provide the maximum percent difference observed in the categories his team has identified.
So, for example he has six plants with four measurements each. (He has more, but I'll keep it simple) For the first plant he measured 2mm, 2.4mm, 2.9mm, and 3.2mm. For the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th plants, he has similar numbers. Is there a way to calculate the maximum percent difference between any two plants in his measurements during the project? Doing it for each combination would be tedious. Penny Nom lui répond. |

For example: if the first number is 10 and the second number is 15, then the second number is 50% larger than the first number. However, the formula to calculate that percentage won't work if the first number is greater than the second number as in the following example: The first number is 15 and the second number is 10, with the second number being 33.3% less than the first number. Or maybe I'm mistaken and the same formula will work in both situations. Penny Nom lui répond. |
