Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Say we start from the beginning with $40. If the pants are discounted but we don't know the percent discount, then we need a variable, x:

40 - x% * 40 = 30

The total is 40. When we take a discount off of 40, we are taking a percent of 40 and subtracting that from 40. From the problem, this should be 30. Thus, the equation above.

Add x%*40 to both sides and subtract 30 from both sides:

x%*40 = 10

Divide by 40:

x% = 1/4 = 0.25

Multiply each side by 100:

x = 25

The answer is 25%.

The formula for the volume of a quarter-sphere is simply one-fourth of the volume of the sphere. So the volume of a quarter-sphere:
V = (1/4) (4/3) (π r³)
or
V = (1/3) (π r³)

Since we are given with the radius of 70 feet, the volume is
V = (1/3) (π) (70³)
V = 359,189 cubic feet
