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 out the age Reggie guessed for Snowball, we first need to determine what \( 37.5\% \) of Snowball's actual age (16 years) is. Calculating \( 37.5\% \) of 16: \[ 37.5\% \times 16 = 0.375 \times 16 = 6 \] Now, subtract that amount from Snowball's age: \[ 16 - 6 = 10 \] Therefore, Reggie guessed that Snowball was 10 years old.
