This statement can be written in shorthand form as:

click refresh (F5)

The number of stars near Orion N = stars


Example:

Suppose you have a box of 80 marbles. (see figure below)



50 percent more marbles are added to the box. How many marbles are now in the box.

Solution: 50 percent is written as click refresh (F5)

and thus 50 percent more marbles added gives: click refresh (F5) marbles

Try this solution by entering (1 + 50/100)80 into the Graphing Calculator in the Function f(x) = box .
Click on the Plot Graph button.
The answer will appear below the Function f(x)=box as f(x) = 120
