You can determine what hours make a 10−20% decrease by calculating 10% and 20% of the original value and subtracting, or, to save time, just calculate 90% and 80% of the original value. She biked 8.5 hours in week 4. 80% × 8.5 = 6.8, and 90% × 8.5 = 7.7, so any number of hours between 6.8 and 7.7 will be acceptable. Choice (C) is the only answer that falls in that range.
