Answer: B, D, and E
0.85L
or
L-0.15L
or
L(1-0.15)
or
[tex]L - \frac{15}{100}L[/tex]
[tex]L - \frac{3}{20}L[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
L is the number of hours Landen spent at the beach. Mateo spent 15% less time. This means he spent 85% of it. So 0.85 times L. We can also calculate it by subtracting the difference between the two kids. - 15%. 15% is 0.15L or [tex]\frac{15}{100}L[/tex]. We subtract by L-0.15L or as [tex]L - \frac{15}{100}L[/tex]. This fraction can simplify to [tex]L - \frac{3}{20}L[/tex]
