Surprisingly there was no topic on this when I searched for it, so I created this one.

I have a very unusual problem: I am being TOO wordy on a RESEARCH PAPER.

[vh]

that's not a problem you're supposed to say everything as concisely and clearly as possible

[Darvince]

no it has to be news stuff but yeah we can create our own 'reaction' to it which could be a drawing or writing idk and then we have to explain things actually i might be making it out to be really hard when it's not i'll just ask TMC how his are and then I will adjust.

ok so if you're bored
Emily is a real estate broker who earns a 12% commission on each house she sells. IF she earned $21,600 on the sale of a house, what was the selling price of the house?

and after that

The enrollment at Norwood Middle School decreased this year. The number of students this year is 2156. This is a 12% drop from last year. Then what was the enrollment last year?
work+explan please

[Darvince]

1a) 1/0.12 = x
1b) x*21600 = answer

2a) 0.88*x = 2156
2b) 0.88*x/0.88 = 2156/0.88
2c) x = 2156/0.88
