1. Multiply length times width as if they were integer number:
Now place the decimal point. To do it we have to keep in mind that the result will have as many decimals as the sum of the decimals of each number. In this case, only the width had one decimal, it means that the result will only have one decimal:
Answer:
3x - 10 = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's reconsider the wording of this problem.
"Ten less than the quotient of a number and
3 is 8."
From less, we can assume 10 is being subtracted from something.
We have:
-10
Next, we know that the quotient is the sum of a multiplication problem. So, we know 3 has to be multiplied by something. We can see that the text says 'a number'. If they don't give us the value we can guess that it is the variable x.
Now:
3x - 10
From 'is 8' we know that must be the final sum of the equation.
Finally:
3x - 10 = 8
Answer:
125%
Step-by-step explanation:
lets just say the book is $100. 20% less would be $80
now to go back to $100, we need to add $20 to $80
20 is 25% of 80, so add the extra 25% to 100% of 80
Let w represent weight here. Then 0.05w = 300 lb.
300 lb
Solving for w, w = ------------- = 6000 lb (3 tons)
0.05
