I know this is kinda late, but...
You can solve this easily as long as you remember how to find the volume of a cube. v=a^3, when a means length. The length is 1/2 cm, or .5 cm.
So, v+.5^3, which equals .125 cm. Each cube has a that volume. Now, multiply that by how many actual cubes there are, 96.
96 * .125 = 12
Since we are looking for the principal amount, then all we have to do is reverse the process of getting the amount of tax. In order to get the principal, you just have to divide 22 with 0.05. The answer is 440 so that is the principal amount you are looking for.
Answer:
<h2><em><u>
3.24</u></em> </h2>
<em><u>= yes, because the sqrt of 3.24 is 1.8</u></em>
<h2><em><u>
20.25</u></em></h2><h3>= yes, because the sqrt of 20.25 is 4.5</h3>
Huh? What does this mean?
