Percent is pars out of 100
40%=40/100=4/10=0.4
'of' means multiply
0.4 times something=56
divide both sides by 0.4
something=140
th enumber is 140
Answer:
7.7
Step-by-step explanation:
square root 59 and it's 7.681, round to tenth to get 7.7
4(2x+5)-8 = 36
8x+20-8 = 36
8x = 24
x = 3
First, we expand the equation:

Then, we combine certain terms in order to simplify them using trigonometry identities.

Note these identities:
Pythagoran relation:

Sum and Difference Formula/Identities:

Thus, if we apply these identities, the simplified equation would be:

Simplying further, the answer would be
First, how much did you spend on the 8 gumdrops at 2 cents a piece?
8 gumdrops at 2 cents a piece is 16 cents
8 gumdrops x 2 cents = 16 cents
So, if you have 16 cents to spend on gumdrops and they are 8 cents a piece, how many can you buy?
16 / 8 = 2
You can buy 2 gumdrops for the same amount of money.
