What strategy can be used to solve 8 x 25 x 23

1 answer:

7 0

The best way to multiply complicated problems mentally* is to break them into chunks.

Start with 20 times 8 to get 160, and then 8 times 5 to get 40. Add these together to get 200. 200 times 3 is 600, and 20 times 200 is 4000. Add these together to get your final answer, 4600.

In other words 8 x 20 + 8 x 5 = 200 200 x 3 + 200 x 20 = 4600

*I assumed you meant mentally, because otherwise you'd just multiply longhand, multiplying two of the three numbers and then multiplying their product with the third.

From the yearbook receipts the students council deposited apart of the $1200 in a saving account receiving 9% interest per annum

Naddika [18.5K]

There was $800 deposited at 9% interest and $400 deposited at 4% interest.

The formula for simple interest is I = prt. Using our information we have:

88 = x(0.09)(1) + (1200-x)(0.04)(1)
88 = 0.09x + 48 - 0.04x
88 = 0.05x + 48

Subtract 48 from both sides:
88 - 48 = 0.05x + 48 - 48
40 = 0.05x

Divide both sides by 0.05:
40/0.05 = 0.05x/0.05
x = 800
1200 - x = 400
