Factor 16 and see the - factor pairs and add them, see which add to -12
-1-16=-17 nope
-2-8=-10 nope
-4-4=-8
hmm
we will solve with math
xy=16
x+y=-12
minus x both sides
y=-12-x
sub for y in other equation
x(-12-x)=16
-12x-x^2=16
add 12x+x^2 both sides
0=x^2+12x+16
use quadratic formula
if you have
ax^2+bx+c=0
x=

0=x^2+12x+16
a=1
b=12
c=16
x=

aprox
x=-1.52786 or -10.4721
those are the numbers
the numbes are -1.52786 or -10.4721
The 30% off is $82.50 cheaper. Which would be $192.50
First step: partition the number you want to square root into a block of 2 digits, starting from the last digit (first diagram)
Second step: As our number is a five-digits, we ends up with 2 28 01. Pick a number that could be squared to get the first partition, 2. This number is 1, since 1×1=1
Third step: Write 1 on the top and on the side, as shown in the second graph
Fourth step: Double the number on the side, which is 1+1=2 and use this number as the first digit for the next multiplier. Meanwhile, subtract 1 from 2 inside the root sign to get 1, then pull the other two digits, 28
Fifth step: We need a value in the boxes that when we multiply together will give a number less than 128. We choose 5 as 25×5=125
Sixth step: Subtract 125 from 128 to give 3, and as the same concept with long division, bring down the 0 and the 1. So we have 301
Seventh step: Add 5 to the multiplier on the left, so 20+5=30, which we will use on the side as the hundred and ten digits.
Final step: Find a number to fit in the boxes. We choose 1 since 301×1=301
And hence the square root of 228801 is 151
Answer:
$20
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>20% is equal to 20/100 therefore, if 5 x 20 is 100, you would multiply 5 x 4 and get 20, </em>
the reason you don't subtract the $4 is because it says "was" so the answer is $20
