Lizzy: If Tony normally has a temperature of 95 degrees, and he comes down with a sickness that raises his temperature by 10 degrees, how many degrees above the threshold of fever is his temperature if a fever is anything over 100 degrees?.
Me: Hmmm, let me think. I think this is the detailed solution:
First, we find what Tony's temperature is by adding his normal temperature of 95 to the increase in temperature from the sickness of 10, performing 95 + 10 = 105 degrees. Since the threshold for having a fever is 100, we subtract 100 from 105 to find out the answer, performing 105 - 100 = 5 degrees above a fever. Final answer: 5.
