Answer is C).
One way to find the answer is to multiply the $54 by .30 (which is 30%converted to a decimal). Doing this will give you what 30% of $54 is.
This gives you 16.2
Since the question is asking what 30% off the price is, subtract the 16.2 from the $54.
The answer is 17/22 17/20 because of the fractions
Volume without holes = 3 x 6 x 11 = 198 cubic inches.
Calculate volume of one hole:
3.14 x 0.5^2 x 3 = 2.355 cubic inches
There are 3 holes: 3 x 2.355 = 7.065
Subtract volume of the holes from the brick:
198 - 7.065 = 190.935 cubic inches.
Rounded to the nearest tenth: 190.9 cubic inches.
This is the distributive property; you're taking the 10 and giving it, or distributing it, to the 4 and the 3. the best way to remember it on sight is just thinking about what "distributing" means.
