It seems confusing, but it's just breaking down the steps for you. It's done the same as any other word problem.
a. The unknown is how many minutes she used beyond the plan. So, we'll use "m" for the variable, to represent minutes.
b. 73.40 = 65 + 0.10m
   The 73.40 is the total, which is why it's by itself. 65 represents the price per month for the plan, and 0.10m is the price per extra minute multiplied by the unknown amount of minutes used.
c. 73.40 = 65 + 0.10m
     8.40 = 0.10m
       84 = m
d. The number of minutes that Allegra went over the time that the plan allows is found by solving the equation we just wrote and solved. $0.10 is paid for every minute past the plan's allowance, meaning that "m" in the equation, when solved, shows us exactly how many minutes over Allegra went.

A. A 5in radius ball is in a
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

52.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, all six sides of the box are touching the ball.

So, all the three dimensions of the box are equal.

Hence, it is a cubical box.

Side length of the box (l)

= diameter of the ball

= 2*radius of the ball

= 2*5

= 10 In.

V_{ball} = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3

V_{ball} = \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14(5)^3

V_{ball} = \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14\times 125

V_{ball} = \frac{1,570}{3}\: In^3

V_{box} =l^3

V_{box} =(10)^3

V_{box} =1000\: In^3

Percentage of the space in the box occupied by the ball

= \frac{V_{ball}}{V_{box} } \times 100

= \frac{\frac{1,570}{3}}{1000} \times 100

= \frac{1570}{3000} \times 100

= \frac{157}{3}

= 52.33\%
