No, I don't want the prize, I just enjoy solving math problems . You had the right idea first, you just misread the problem. If 28 is the correct answer, I want you to take the diamonds.
well I first calculated what 120% are and added it to the 12 then calculated 120% by that again and again 7 times until it was at 150
x=1 (12inches = 1feet) 1.2x is -greater than or equal- to 150 *1.2 being the multiplier, 120% or written as 1.2x=150 divide 1.2 two on both sides 1.2x/1.2 = 150/1.2 get rid of 1.2 to leave x = 150/1.2 x=125 so 125?
