Answer:

87.8

Step-by-step explanation:

So you have to multiply 91 times 3.5 which equals 318.5

                      91 × 3.5 = 318.5

Then divide 318.5 by 100 which equals 3.185

                      318.5 ÷ 100 = 3.185

Next subtract 91 by 3.185 which equals 87.815

                      91 - 3.185 = 87.815

Last Round 87.815 to 87.8

                       87.8 should be the answer

Hope this helps

Answer:

The number is 94.3 (to the nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number =x

When x is decreased by 3.5%, we have:

(100% of x)-(3.5% of x)=(100-3.5)% of x =96.5% of x

When a number is decreased by 3.5%, the result is 91.

Therefore:

96.5% of x = 91

Converting percentage to decimal: 96.5%=0.965

0.965x = 91

Divide both sides by 0.965

x=94.3

The number is 94.3 (to the nearest tenth)

If the altitude is √7, find the volume. 36√7 cu. units 18√7 cu. units 12√7 cu. units
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

Volume = 12\sqrt{7} cubic units

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the square pyramid is given as ⅓*area of base*height of pyramid.

Where,

Area of base = 6*6 = 36

Height of pyramid = altitude = \sqrt{7} units

Plug the values into the formula to find volume.

Volume = \frac{1}{3}*36*\sqrt{7}

Volume = 12*\sqrt{7}

Volume = 12\sqrt{7} cubic units
