Answer:

£16

the t-shirt increased by 0.25. let's convert that to percentage

therefore it increased by 25%

By using cross multiplication we can write as follows:

125%=£20

100%=£ x

(100×20)/125= £16

Sally finds a coin with a radius of 1.5 centimeters and a thickness of 0.25 cm. It has a measured mass of 18.54 grams. How can S

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

Silver

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the volume of the coin

<u>Volume of a cylinder</u>

$\textsf{V}=\sf \pi r^2 h \quad\textsf{(where r is the radius and h is the height)}$

Given:

r = 1.5 cm
h = 0.25 cm

Substituting given values into the formula to find the volume:

$\sf \implies V=\pi (1.5)^2(0.25)$

$\sf \implies V=0.5625 \pi \:cm^3$

Find the density of the coin given it has a measured mass of 18.54 g

<u>Density formula</u>

$\sf \rho=\dfrac{m}{V}$

where:

$\rho$ = density
m = mass
V = volume

Given:

m = 18.54 g
$\sf V=0.5625 \pi \:cm^3$

Substituting given values into the density formula:

$\implies \sf \rho=\dfrac{18.54}{0.5625 \pi}$

$\implies \sf \rho=10.49149385\:g\:cm^{-3}$

Given:

$\textsf{Density of Lead}=\sf 11.3\:g\:cm^{-3}$

$\textsf{Density of Silver}=\sf 10.49\:g\:cm^{-3}$

Therefore, as $\sf \rho=10.49\:g\:cm^{-3}$ the coin is made from silver.
