If a gang of eight rob a bank, what percent of the loot belongs to three of the robbers? What percent belongs to them if two of the gang are killed? By what percent does each robber’s share increase?

Answer 1

3 of 8 = 3/8 = .375 = 37.5%
t2o killed leaves 6 to share, so adjust the fraction.

then subtract to find the change.

to adjust the fraction all you have to do is make it 3/6 because now there are only 6 gang members

Answer 7

37.5 Square Route
= 878.4 - 1782.2
= Simplify to nearest concention.
=
17.5%

Answer 8

You don't need to find difference for the last part of the question. All you have to do is (1/6)/(1/8)=1.(3)=133.(3)%, so the increase is 33.(3)%
