Percentage by which the gas tank of the car is full = 40%
Amount of gas in the gas tank = 8 gallons
Let us assume the capacity of the gas tank = x gallons
Then
40% * x = 8
(40/100) * x = 8
4x/10 = 8
4x = 8 * 10
4x = 80
x = 80/4
   = 20 gallons
So the total capacity of the gas tank of the car is 20 gallons. I hope the procedure is clear to you.

Write a function rule that gives the total cost c(p) of p pounds of sugar if each pound costs $0.42.
julia-pushkina [17]
Since a pound of sugar increases proportionally to the total cost of sugar bought, then the function can be written as:

c(p) = 0.42p

Where: c(p) = total cost of sugar bought
p = pounds of sugar

c(p) is a function of p, because c(p) depends on p.

Missing question:  Find the probability that the Smith family had at least 6 girls?

answer : 0.1406

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of children = 8

probability of a child being a girl ( success ) = 0.5  (

P( boy ) ( q ) = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5

P( at least 6 girls ) = p(k = 6 ) + p(k = 7 )

                              = 0.109375 + 0.03125 ≈ 0.1406
