14.5% = 0.145 = 145/1000
14.5 = 14500/1000
<span>So 14.5% is a hundredth the size of 14.5, so they are not equal and the friend is incorrect.</span>
6(100+90+8) is the equation
6x100 =600
6x90 =540
6x8 = 48
1,188 is the answer
Find the volumes of each separate rectangular prism, (top) 9 x 4 x 12 = 432 cubic meters, (bottom) 10x2x2 = 40 cubic meters, and then add them together to get the overall volume, 40+432 = 472 cubic meters. the strategy is using length times width times height, LxWxH.
<span><u><em>The correct answer is:</em></u>
$42.
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
The best way to find a total bill including tip (or tax if that is what you are looking for - it is found the same way), is to multiply the original total by 1 + the percentage of the tip.
Since the percentage is 20%, we add 0.20 to 1 to get 1.20.
Now we multiply that by the original cost to get the final answer.
1.20*35 = 42</span>
You multiply the number outside the parenthesis with both of the numbers in the parenthesis separately.
