Disclaimer - it's a Friday night, I'm very very tired, I've been marking for 2hrs, I;ve got my period....I'm not this stupid normally...
Joe packed a large suitcase. It weighed 40kg. The case was 25% overweight. By how much was his suitcase overweight?
I think I am overthinking this - is it as simple as 25% of 40? I am thinking that I have to try to work out what original weight plus 25% of said weight would = 40kg. Pupil has just given 10kg as answer. I have no answer book. I am tired. Etc.
