Mrs. Garcia’s students were asked to find 220% of 75. Each of the students had a different method. Amy: “I multiplied 2.20 by 75 to find my answer.” Braden: “I created a table with columns for 100%, 100%, 20%, and 220%. Then I filled in the table and added the values.” Colton: “I created a table with columns for 100%, 10%, 10%, and 220%. Then I filled in the table and added the values.” Danielle: “I divided 75 by 5 to find 20%. Then I added 75 twice to what I found to get my final answer.” If all of the students completed their steps accurately, which student got the answer wrong?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Colton was wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

MRs. Garcia’s students were asked to find 220% of 75.

Amy multiplied 75 by 2.20 which is perfect since 220% =2.2

Next is Braden:

He created table for 100, 100 and 20% and added. This will be equivalent to finding 220%

Colton created table for 100, 10 and 10 percent and added these.

But this addition would result in 100+10+10 =120%only not 220%

HEnce Colton is wrong.

Danielle divided 75 by 5 to get 20%. Then he took 75 for each 100%

He was also right.
