Duncan Villarreal · Answer 1

1. 360*0.40=144

so they said 40% reggie collected main mor than 40% collected so you need to do add like 360+144=504

the answer 504

2. you need to do new to old

the new is 15 old is 799

799-15=784x100

the high number is 799

so you need to do 799 divided by 100=7.99

now 784 divided by 7.99=98.12

the answer is 98.12
