x is at least 50% greater than 100, and at most 100 % greater than 100; y is between 20 % and 50% of x inclusive. Which of the following are possible values for y?
❑ 10

x is at least 50% greater than 100, and at most 100 % greater than 100In other words: (50% greater than 100) ≤ x ≤ (100% greater than 100)
Evaluate: 150 ≤ x ≤ 200
y is between 20% and 50% of x inclusiveIn other words: (
20% of x) ≤ y ≤ (
50% of x)
IMPORTANT: The smallest value of y will be when x is the smallest.
Since 150 is the smallest possible value of x, the smallest possible value of y =
20% of 150 =
30IMPORTANT: The biggest value of y will be when x is the biggest.
Since 200 is the biggest possible value of x, the biggest possible value of y =
50% of 200 =
100So,
30 ≤ y ≤
100Which of the following are possible values for y?30 ≤ y ≤
100Answer:
40, 60, 90, 100 (C, D, E, F)
