How much greater is 3 than 2? 50Percent greater.

17,17+n, 17+2n, 17+3n

17+3n=77 n=20
seventh: 97
eighth: 117

3. c can be 3.5, 2.5.

4. well, X>2 assuming w,y,or z is zero.
but W =1 of y=0
if z is zero, W=5, but in any case, W=>5

Try W=5, that makes y=4, and z=0, and X=9
5940
check this.

1) 2 out of 5 days it rained. 5 goes into 30 6 times, sooo, multiple 6 by 2, and you get 12 days it did not rain in April.
Apply that same concept to the 3 out of 5 days it does rain...you get 18 days it DID rain, so the answer would be 18 (days it rained) subtract 12 (days it didn't rain). Answer is it rained 6 more days than the amount of days it didn't rain
