If you move the decimal point left until it is just to the right of the most-significant digit, the number of places you moved it is the power of ten that your new number is multiplied by.

Then multiplication can proceed in the usual way, taking into account the rules of exponents.

Answer:
pretty sure its,100
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
down below.
Step-by-step explanation:
20 × 400 = 8000
8000 - 7200 = 800
therefore the % mark up is 10%, because 10% of 8000 is 800.
800 + 7200 = 8000
Answer:
It is, indeed, a reduction. But, the scale factor of the dilation should be a fraction instead of a whole number, since the shape has shrunk.
Instead of
, it should be
. That would make it (4 - 2) / (8 - 4) = 2 / 4 = 1/2.
Hope this helps!

5x + 45 + 3x - 25 = 180
8x + 20 = 180
8x = 160
x = 20
12b)
2x - 5 = 2(20) - 5 = 40 - 5 = 35
3x - 25 = 3(20) - 25 = 60 - 25 = 35
y = 180 - (35+35)
y = 180 - 70
y = 110
