Answer:

We know that C is the total number of cans in a complete case.

Victoria counts:

16 full cases, so in those we have: 16*C cans.

4 cases with 5 missing cans, so in those we have:

Then if each case has C cans, the cases that are missing 5 cans have:

C - 5 cans.

Then in those four cases we have a total of: 4*(C - 5) cans.

And Victoria knows that there are 220 cans, then we have that:

16*C + 4*(C - 5) = 220

16*C + 4*C - 20 = 220

16*C + 4*C = 220 + 20 = 240

20*C = 240

C = 240/20 = 12

Then each case has 12 cans.

Then the number of cans in the cases with missing cans is:

12 cans - 5 cans = 7 cans.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps!!!!!!!! :D

20%

First, I added them up. From the things we know, blue, red, green, yellow combined equals 16 marbles. 20-16 equals 4. So there are 4 white marbles. 4/20 times 5 equals 20/100. So the percent of the marbles that are white is 20%.

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer: 80 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write these as fractions and do cross multiplication with the numerator being the height of the object while the denominator being the length of the shadow:

5 * 128 = 8x

640 = 8x

80 = x

Thus, the height of the lighthouse is 80 feet tall.
