Answer: Weight of the clay in each portion is given by

\frac{1}{12}\text{ pounds }

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Weight of modelling clay is given by

\frac{5}{6}\text{ pounds}

Part of clay used to make decorative magnets is given by

\frac{1}{5}

Remaining part of clay is given by

1-\frac{1}{5}=\frac{5-1}{5}=\frac{4}{5}

So, Remaining part of clay is divided into 8 equal parts so,

Weight of each clay is given by

\frac{4}{5}\times \frac{5}{6}\times \frac{1}{8}\\\\=\frac{1}{12}\text{ pounds }

So, weight of the clay in each portion is given by

\frac{1}{12}\text{ pounds }

A family paid $26.400 as a down payment for a home. If this represents 16% of the price of the home, find the price of the home.
Vlada [557]
The correct answer is:

How to find X if P percent of it is Y. Use the percentage formula Y/P% = X

Convert the problem to an equation using the percentage formula: Y/P% = X
Y is 26,400, P% is 16%, so the equation is 26,400/16% = X
Convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100.
Converting 16% to a decimal: 16/100 = 0.16
Substitute 0.16 for 16% in the equation: 26,400/0.16 = X
Do the math: 26,400/0.16 = X
X = 165,000
So $ 165,000 is the price of the home.

I hope this helps you!!
