Answer:

$0.80

Step-by-step explanation:

percent times the original number equals the part

(%)(start or total cost)= (part of the total cost). you need to know the total cost, so you would fill in the part and the percent. 0.9x=0.72. you use x because you don't know what the total cost is. then you divide both sides by 0.9 to get x by itself and you get that x = 0.8, meaning that the present costs $0.80.

I have 1 hundreds, 4 ones, 2 tens, and 1 tenths. What number am I?

DaniilM [7]

Since it reads 1 hundreds, that means 100. 4 ones mean 4 * 1, which is 4. 2 tens means 2 * 10, which is 20. Add those together and you get 124. Where it reads "1 tenth", that means 0.1
Therefore, the number is 124.1

Stephen makes wooden shelves for his room he starts with a board that is 20 feet long.Stephen wants to make the shelves 3/4 foot

jek_recluse [69]

The number of shelves stephen can make is approximately 27

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that Stephen makes wooden shelves for his room

Stephen wants to make the shelves 3/4 foot long

He starts with a board that is 20 feet long

To find: number of shelves he can make

So the number of shelves stephen can make can make is found out by dividing 20 feet long board by 3/4 foot long

$\text {number of shelves }=\frac{\text { total length of board stephen has }}{\text { length of each board }}$

$\text {number of shelves }=\frac{20}{3 / 4}=\frac{20}{0.75}=26.6$

So the number of shelves stephen can make is approximately 27
