The question is incomplete as the cost price isn't given. However, taking the cost price as x :

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

A car costs$cents when new. It was sold for four fifths of its cost price. How much money was lost on the car.

Let :

Cost price when new = x

Cost price when sold = 4/5 * cost price when new

Cost when sold = 4/5 of x = 4x/5

Amount of money lost on the car = (Cost price of car when new - Cost of car when sold)

Hence,

Amount of money lost on the car = (x - 4x/5)

x - 4x/5 = (5x - 4x) / 5 = x / 5

To obtain the exact price, kindly input the omitted cost when new for x.

A square mosaic is made of small glass squares. If there are 256 small squares in the mosaic how many are along an edge?
Degger [83]
To do this, you got to square 256.

The square root of 256 is 16.

Therefore, there are 16 small squares on each edge of the mosaic.

Kinda proof:

o  o  o  o  O
o  o  o  o  O
o  o  o  o  O
o  o  o  o  O
o  o  o  o  O

25 squares. Square root is 5. 5 along each edge. My work shares same concept.

Extremely unnecessary proof:

o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   O
o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   O
o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   O
o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   O
o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   O
o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   O
o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   O
o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   O

o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   O
o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   O
o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   O
o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   O
o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   O
o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   O
o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   o   O

There are 256 squares, and you can count 16 on each edge. this shows 16 times 16, or 16 squared, which is 256.
