Question

in a recent year, state a had the greatest median age and state b had the lowest median age. the median age in state b was 31.7% less than that of state a. if m represents the median age in state a, write an expression for the median age in state b. in terms of m, the median age in state b is (do not simplify. use integers or decimals for any numbers in the expression.)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the relationship

The median age in state B is 31.7% less than that of state A. If $m$ is the median - age in state A, then the median age in state B is $(1 - 0.317)m$.

Step2: Calculate the expression

$(1 - 0.317)m=0.683m$.

Answer:

$0.683m$
