Answer:

$27.2

Step-by-step explanation:

A cake that costs $32 is on sale for 15% off and there are no taxes. Explain why the expression (0.85).32 represents the final price of the cake in dollars.

This is explained in the calculation below

= A cake that costs $32 is on sale for 15% off

The amount off the cake is calculated as

= 15% of $32

= 15/100 × 32

= $4.8

The amount he is paying for the cake =>$32 - $4.8

= $27.2

The above expression is obtained as

(0.85).32

= (100% - 15%) × 32

=( 1 - 0.15) × 32

= 0.85 × 32

= $27.2

The final price of the cake = $27.2

If one-sixth of a number plus one-third returns two-thirds of that number What is the number

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

$x= \frac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

Given

$\frac{1}{6}x + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3}x$

Required

Find x

$\frac{1}{6}x + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3}x$

Collect Like Terms

$\frac{1}{6}x - \frac{2}{3}x = - \frac{1}{3}$

Take LCM

$\frac{1 - 4}{6}x = \frac{-1}{3}$

$\frac{- 3}{6}x = \frac{-1}{3}$

Multiply both sides by 6

$6 * \frac{- 3}{6}x = \frac{-1}{3} * 6$

$-3x= -2$

Divide both sides by -3

$\frac{-3x}{-3}= \frac{-2}{-3}$

$x= \frac{2}{3}$

Hence, the number is $\frac{2}{3}$

Clare sketches a rectangular prism with a height of 11 and a square base and labels the edges of the base 8. She asks Han what h

Nady [450]

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of rectangular prism = area of base x height

If the base is square with edges of 8, then area of base = 8 x 8 = 64

Therefore, volume = 64 x 11 = 704 units³

If the edges of the base are tripled, then an edge = 8 x 3 = 24

Therefore, the area of the base = 24 x 24 = 576

So volume = 576 x 11 = 6336 units³

Divide new volume by initial volume = 6336 ÷ 704 = 9

So yes, Han is right as the new volume is 9 times bigger.
