Answer:
632
Step-by-step explanation:
So we can define decreasing x% in two ways: we can define 20% off as 80% of the original value, or we can define subtracting 20% from the original value, and both representations are useful.
In this case it's more useful to define 20% as subtracting 20%, from the original value. The reason for this, is because since we're subtracting 20% of the original value, we then know that 126.40 is 20% the original value.
So to find x% of some value, you generally use the following equation: 
where A=original amount, and x is the percent. This equation is simply converting the x% to a decimal value. Since 126.40 is 20%, we can derive the following equation.
We can solve for A, by dividing by 0.20
It's also important to note, you didn't really have to set up this entire equation, since you know that the 126.40 is 20%, you simply could've multiplied by 5, since 20% is really just 1/5 of the entire value, so get the entire value, or original value you multiply by 5
Answer: You would need 512 cubic centimetres
Step-by-step explanation: The first approach to this question would be to understand the properties of the shape given in the question.
If a cube has an edge with length 8 cm, then all edges measure 8 cm as well. That is one property of a cube. Hence, the length, width and height all measure 8 cm each.
The volume of a cube is given as follows;
V = L x W x H (and the answer is expressed as V³)
Since the length , width and height all measure 8 cm, the volume can simply be expressed as
V = L x L x L
V = L³
V = 8³
V = 512 cm³
Therefore to completely fill a cube with edge length of 8 cm you would need 512 cubic centimetres.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1 bowl holds 5 fish
x bowls hold 263 fish
1/x = 5/263 Cross multiply
5x = 263 Divide by 5
5x/5 = 263/5
x = 52.6
So you actually need 53 fishbowls. One of them holds only 3 fish
Answer:
x=ym−4
Step-by-step explanation:
y=(4+x)m
Here we have one equation with three unknowns. This cannot be "solved". We can only express one variable in terms of the other two.
Let's isolate x.
Divide through by m
ym=4+x
x=ym−4
(I really hope this helps)
Answer:
28
Step-by-step explanation:
First multiply 8 by 4 to get 32. Now there is a small triangle in the bottom. Multiply 4 by 2 to get 8. Then divide 8 by 2 to get 4, the area of the triangle. Now lastly 32-4 to get 28 square units, the area.
