Mr. Dean often told funny stories about his pet cat, Snowball, to his class at school. After showing the class a picture of Snowball one day, he asked the students to guess the cat's age. Then, he told them Snowball was 16 years old! Reggie had guessed an age \( 37.5 \% \) less than that. What age did Reggie guess for Snowball? Submit

To find the age that Reggie guessed for Snowball, we need to calculate \( 37.5\% \) less than the actual age of Snowball, which is 16 years old. Let's denote the age that Reggie guessed as \( x \). We can set up the equation: \[ x = 16 - \left( \frac{37.5}{100} \times 16 \right) \] Now, we can solve for \( x \) to find the age that Reggie guessed for Snowball. Calculate the value by following steps: - step0: Calculate: \(16-\left(\frac{37.5}{100}\times 16\right)\) - step1: Divide the terms: \(16-\left(\frac{3}{8}\times 16\right)\) - step2: Multiply the numbers: \(16-6\) - step3: Subtract the numbers: \(10\) Reggie guessed that Snowball was 10 years old.
