28.80 + .20X = X

.20X = X - 28.80

1/5 = .20

X/5 = X -28.80

X = 5X - 144

Set the new X equal to the original X

28.80 + .20X = 5X - 144

172.8 + .20X = 5X

172.8 = 4.8X

36 = X

36$ is the original price

To check,

28.80 + (.20 x 36) = 36

28.80 + 7.2 = 36

36 = 36

A cubical water tank can contain 1000/125 cubic meters of water. Find the length of a side of the water tank.
Annette [7]

Given:

Volume of cubical tank = \dfrac{1000}{125} cubic meters.

To find:

The length of a side of the water tank.

Solution:

The volume of a cubical tank is:

V=a^3

Where, a is the side length.

It is given that the volume of cubical tank is \dfrac{1000}{125} cubic meters. So,

a^3=\dfrac{1000}{125}

a^3=\dfrac{(10)^3}{5^3}

Taking cube root on both sides, we get

a=\dfrac{10}{5}

a=2

Therefore, the length of a side of the water tank is 2 meters.
