divide them
17.16/0.624 = 27.5
27.5 is the answer
double check by multiplying 27.5 by 62.4%
27.5*.624 = 17.16
56 minus 8 is 48
48 is Diane's savings.
I saw the image that should have been posted with this word problem.
The rolls of wrapping paper is cylindrical in shape.
Roll A : length = 30 inches ; diameter = 3 inches
Roll B : length = 24 inches ; diameter = unknown
Lateral surface area = 2 π r h
Lateral Surface area of Roll A = Lateral Surface area of Roll B
2 * 3.14 * 1.5in * 30in = 2 * 3.14 * r * 24 in
282.60 in² = 150.72 in * r
282.60 in² / 150.72 in = r
1.875 in = r
diameter is 2 times the radius = 1.875 in * 2 = 3.75 inches
The diameter of Roll B is 3.75 inches.
The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of x in its expression. Constant (non-zero) polynomials, linear polynomials, quadratics, cubics and quartics are polynomials of degree 0, 1, 2 , 3 and 4 respectively. The function f(x)=0 is also a polynomial, but we say that its degree is 'undefined'.
