Call the sum S. Then, you can use the definition of percentage to obtain an equation to find the value of S: 1) 28% = 28 / 100; 2) 28% of x = (28/100)x; 3) that is equal to $100.80 => (28/100)x = 100.8 => x = 100.8 * 100 / 28 => x = 360. You can verify that the 28% of 360 is 100.80: 360 * 28/100 = 100.80. Then, the answer is $360.

100% - 20% = 80%

$26.95 * 80% = $21.56

You multiply by 80% because you are taking 20% off and now want to know what 80% of the price will be.

So, r' (the new r) becomes kr, and h'=h*k,

so V' = pi * (r')^2*h' = pi * (r*k)^2*(h*k) = pi*r^2*h*k^3 = V * k^3
