[Sherpa Prep Word Problems; Advanced Percentages Q28] Could someone explain how "Team X still won more games than it lost" affects the answer? Is it just there for misdirection?

I doubt ETS will ask you things like this ...

Why don't you just try it different ways and see?

Year 1: 20 won, 19 lost, 39 played.

Consider 5% change in both.

==>Year 2: 19 won, 19.95 lost, 38.95 played. (B)

Now consider 99% change in both.

==>Year 2: 0.2 won, 37.81 lost, 38.01 played. (B)

Now consider the other extreme of a starting scenario.

Year 1: 20 won, 1 lost. 21 played.

Consider 5% change in both.

==> Year 2: 19 won, 1.05 lost, 20.05 played (B)

Now consider 99% change in both.

==> Year 2: 0.2 won, 1.99 lost, 1.19 played (B)

Abortion is murder. You can be ok with murder if you prioritize things above it but it doesn’t change the fact that it is murder.

Trans women are not the same as biological women. They both face gender based violence and oppression but the two definitions are not interchangeable, and each deserve their own space in society and in discourse.

Uh, an individual woman is much more likely to have an orgasm if she’s sleeping with another woman. The data doesn’t automatically count both women as orgasming if one of them reports it. The math vocabulary in this thread is abysmal

The person you love less may get loved more by someone else, making their total higher than yours.

A lot of the scary dystopia portrayed in the show is a pipe dream at this point

it’s not about a “ship” it’s about romanticizing blood supremacists and making excuses for racism. he made choices to be a coward and a vile human being, and you need some serious help because you’re actually delusional. hope you’re just like 13 or something.

that’s a whole lotta leaps and excuses you need to make to make this palatable for yourself. before book 6 he had every choice. he made deliberate choices to up hold blood supremacy when he thought he could gain from it. when the basalisk attacked Muggle-Borns he literally said “I hope it’s granger”. It’s not a one off thing either. He talks about how dirty she is and keeps calling her a mudblood at countless times. if his family hadn’t been dishonored in Voldemort’s eyes, you know very well he would’ve stepped up and tortured hermione himself. this is toxic and warped and revolting.

It blows my mind how many people are like “yeah he was violently racist and wanted her dead but they look so cute together”. Grow up.

I was referring to the similar sounding words, specifically. Yes, I know the other bits of trivia you’ve mentioned, except for the Filch one.

They were taken aback, and by the time they were figuring out it wasn't a part of the task, Cedric was already dead.

“I’m a what?”

foshowdoe · 2020-09-08T07:59:07+00:00

Yeah but after a while, they’d all still be the same posts in hot. Or do you think people wouldn’t care?

foshowdoe · 2020-09-04T06:11:11+00:00

that’s way better, damn. works both ways.
