Or according to her running log, monica averaged 18 miles per week this month, which is 80% more than last month. how much did she average last month?

Answer 1

Monica averaged 10 miles per week last month.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much Monica averaged last month, we need to calculate 80% of her average mileage this month and subtract it from her average mileage this month.

Let's represent Monica's average mileage last month as x. We have the equation x + 0.8x = 18.

Simplifying the equation, we get 1.8x = 18.

Dividing both sides by 1.8, we find that x = 10. Therefore, Monica averaged 10 miles per week last month.
