7 0

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's call this number n. Here is the info we can write about it. Remember that to write as a percent as a decimal you divide by 100.

n-0.16n=159.6

We combine like terms.

0.84n=159.6

We divide both sides by 0.84

n=190

Have a wonderful day! :D

Same:

$b=\sqrt{c^2-a^2}$

Answer:

The correct answer is A. The base of the rectangular prism must be 12 units because the height is 2 units, and 2 multiplied by 12 is 24, which is the total volume of the prism.
