The shipping fee is $30
1. 12%×250
= 250×12/100
= 2.5 ×12
= 5/2×12
=60/2
=30

Think of it this way: Make the 250 25 and the 0.12 to 1.2 to make it easier to multiply. Then, you multiply 25 by 1, and then by 2. You divide the answer you got from 2*25 by 10, to keep the decimal place in place (you get 5). Then, you add the products of 25*1 and 25*0.2, and get 30 in all.

Hope this helps!

The velocity v of blood that flows in a blood vessel with radius r and length ℓ at a distance r from the central axis is v(r) =

pogonyaev

$v(r)=4P\eta\ell(R^2-r^2)$

(assuming $R$ is the radius of the vessel, and that $0\le r\le R$ )

The average velocity of the blood is given by

$\displaystyle\frac1{R-0}\int_{r=0}^{r=R}v(r)\,\mathrm dr$
$=\displaystyle\frac{4P\eta\ell}R\int_{r=0}^{r=R}(R^2-r^2)\,\mathrm dr$
$=\dfrac{4P\eta\ell}R\left(\dfrac23R^3\right)$
$=\dfrac{8P\eta\ell}3R^2$
