Answer:

850.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number at the start be x shoes. Then:

x - 50 - 0.64(x - 50) = 288

x - 0.64x - 50 + 32 = 288

0.36x = 288 + 50 - 32

0.36x = 306

x = 306/0.36 =  850.

Three-eighths of the sum of sixteen times a number and twenty-four. How do you set this up?
patriot [66]
If you break it up:

Three-eighths = 3/8

Sixteen times a number, we'll call the unknown number X, so 16X.

Twenty Four = 24

The sum of 16X and 24 = 16X + 24

We want 3/8 of that sum so we put the sum in parenthesis and we get:

Y = 3/8(16X + 24) where Y is the answer youd get if you knew what X was.

Find volume with full working out pls asap
aev [14]
<h3>Answer: approximately 2076.56001909938 cubic cm</h3>

====================================================

Work Shown:

V1 = volume of cylinder

V2 = volume of cone on top

V3 = V1+V2 = volume of entire 3D solid figure

-----------

V1 = volume of cylinder

V1 = pi*r^2*h

V1 = pi*8.75^2*5.8

V1 = 1395.06348773471 which is approximate

----------

V2 = volume of cone

V2 = (1/3)*pi*r^2*h

V2 = (1/3)*pi*8.75^2*8.5

V2 = 681.49653136466  which is approximate

----------

V3 = V1+V2

V3 = 1395.06348773471+681.49653136466

V3 = 2076.56001909938

Answer is approximate

The units for the volume are in cubic cm.
