The answer would be $35.70. 70% off would be $83.30 off of $119.
An Artist creates a scale model and of a Sculpture with a scale of 2 inches = 5 feet. If the scale model of the sculpture measures 8 inches tall, how many feet tall is the actual sculpture?
Using a calculator or a pencil, find each square root, including
three (3) decimal places. A negative number has no real square
roots, so skip '-71' and '-19'.
For each square root . . .
-- If the digits in the 2nd and 3rd decimal place are 00 through 24, then
make the 2nd decimal place a '0' and discard the rest.
-- If the digits in the 2nd and 3rd decimal place are 25 through 74, then
make the 2nd decimal place a '5' and discard the rest.
-- If the digits in the 2nd and 3rd decimal place are 75 through 99, then
increase the 1st decimal place by 1, make the 2nd decimal place a '0',
and discard the rest.
Use this rule: <em>(x^a)^b = x^ab</em>
3(x + 2)^3/5 + 2 = 27
Subtract 3 from both sides
3(x + 2)^3/5 = 27 - 3
Simplify 27 - 3 to 24
3(x + 2)^3/5 = 24
Divide both sides by 3
(x + 2)^3/5 = 24/3
Simplify 24/3 to 8
(x + 2)^3/5 = 8
Take the cube root of both sides
x + 2 = 3/5√8
Invert and multiply
x + 2 = 8^5/3
Calculate
x + 2 = 2^5
Simplify 2^5 to 32
x + 2 = 32
Subtract 2 from both sides
x = 32 - 2
Simplify 32 - 3 to 30
<u>x = 30</u>
