The original price of the shorts was $22.50. I used the calculator and started multiplying numbers by .80 (80%) until I multiplied 22.50 x .80 and it equaled 18. Basically you have to divide the percentage that the problem gives you, in this case 20, by 100 (20/100 = .20). Then find how much it lacks to have 100 (in this case it is 80), when you divide that by 100, you are left with .80. You then start to multiply that by numbers until you get your answer. I'm sure that there is a much simpler way to answer this math problem but this is the only way I can think right now of solving it. I hope this helps you!!

Answer: 164

Reasoning: you would need to divide 492 by 3 to get the number of sprites seeing that the sandwiches are 3 times as much as the amount of sprites sold.

I hope that helped

Why do you subtract the area of the circle from the total
posledela

Answer:

To find the area of a circle with the radius, square the radius, or multiply it by itself. Then, multiply the squared radius by pi, or 3.14, to get the area. To find the area with the diameter, simply divide the diameter by 2, plug it into the radius formula, and solve as before.
