1. 7% can also be written as .07
2. To figure out what 7% of 24.50 is than you need to multiple 24.50*.07.
3. 24.50*.07 = 1.715 or $1.72
4. Another way to think about this is as follows:
X/24.50= 7/100 and solve for X
24.50*7 =100x
171.50 =100x
171.50/100=x
1.715 =X
24.50*.07= 1.715 or $1.72

A section of concrete pipe 30m long has an inside diameter of 1.2m and an outside diameter of 1.8m. what is the volume of concre
Fudgin [204]

length of pipe= 30m

Inside dia. = 1.2m

Outside dia. = 1.8m


Volume of concrete= (outside dia. - inside dia.)h

V= (pi)
v= [(3.14*0.9*0.9)-(3.14*0.6*0.6)]30

v= (3.3534-1.1304)30
v=(2.233)30 = 66.690m cube

since it's volume the answer 66.690 is in cubic meters.
