Answer:
1. complex fraction Ex: 1/4/3- one fourth over 3 if that makes more sense
2. terminating decimal Ex: 0.5
3. additive inverse Ex: -14+14= 0
2+7= 9
72 / 9 = 8
8 * 2 = 16
<span>8 * 7 = 56
</span>16:56

Step 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: $222.73
===========================================
Work Shown:
x = pre-GST price
10% of x = 0.10x = tax amount
x + 0.10x = 1.10x = post-GST price = 245
1.10x = 245
x = 245/1.10
x = 222.7272 approximately
x = 222.73 is the price before tax.
------------
Check:
10% of 222.73 = 0.10*222.73 = 22.273 = 22.27
The tax amount ($22.27) is added to the pre-GST price to get
22.27+222.73 = 245
which matches the post-GST price mentioned.
The answer is confirmed.
Or another way to confirm the answer is to calculate this
1.10*222.73 = 245.003 = 245
The area of an equilateral triangle of side "s" is s^2*sqrt(3)/4. So the volume of the slices in your problem is
(x - x^2)^2 * sqrt(3)/4.
Integrating from x = 0 to x = 1, we have
[(1/3)x^3 - (1/2)x^4 + (1/5)x^5]*sqrt(3)/4
= (1/30)*sqrt(3)/4 = sqrt(3)/120 = about 0.0144.
Since this seems quite small, it makes sense to ask what the base area might be...integral from 0 to 1 of (x - x^2) dx = (1/2) - (1/3) = 1/6. Yes, OK, the max height of the triangles occurs where x - x^2 = 1/4, and most of the triangles are quite a bit shorter...
