Answer:

a. \frac{4a}{15}

b. $225

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Mr. Scruggs got money for his birthday be 'a'

He spent \frac{1}{5} of it on dog treats = a × \frac{1}{5}

                                                                      = \frac{1}{5}a

remainder amount would be = a - \frac{1}{5}a

                                                = \frac{4a}{5}

Then he divided the remainder money equally among 3 favorite charities.

\frac{\frac{4a}{5}}{3}

= \frac{4a}{15}

a. Each charity receive \frac{4a}{15}

b. If he donated $60 to each charity.

\frac{4a}{15}=60

a=\frac{15\times 60}{4}

a = $225

Mr. Scruggs received $225 for his birthday.

What is the volume of the square pyramid shown below?
NemiM [27]

Answer: C) 147cm^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to calculate the area of the square base.

This is 7*7 which equals 49 cm squared.

Plug this value into the formula of a square pyramid which will be V = 49 * \frac{h}{3}, now plug in the h, which is 9 cm.

V = 49 * \frac{9}{3}

Now solve.

V = 147 cubic cm.
