None of the answers are correct in this question
I think it's the last point. (5,4)
40% of a given number is 8...
0.40x = 8
x = 8 / 0.40
x = 20....so 20 is the given number
what is 15% of 20...
0.15(20) = 3 <==== ur answer
<span> FOIL is a mnemonic rule for multiplying binomial (that is, two-term) algebraic expressions. </span>
<span>FOIL abbreviates the sequence "First, Outside, Inside, Last"; it's a way of remembering that the product is the sum of the products of those four combinations of terms. </span>
<span>For instance, if we multiply the two expressions </span>
<span>(x + 1) (x + 2) </span>
<span>then the result is the sum of these four products: </span>
<span>x times x (the First terms of each expression) </span>
<span>x times 2 (the Outside pair of terms) </span>
<span>1 times x (the Inside pair of terms) </span>
<span>1 times 2 (the Last terms of each expression) </span>
<span>and so </span>
<span>(x + 1) (x + 2) = x^2 + 2x + 1x + 2 = x^2 + 3x + 2 </span>
<span>[where the ^ is the usual way we indicate exponents here in Answers, because they're hard to represent in an online text environment]. </span>
<span>Now, compare this to multiplying a pair of two-digit integers: </span>
<span>37 × 43 </span>
<span>= (30 × 40) + (30 × 3) + (7 × 40) + (7 × 3) </span>
<span>= 1200 + 90 + 280 + 21 </span>
<span>= 1591 </span>
<span>The reason the two processes resemble each other is that multiplication is multiplication; the difference in the ways we represent the factors doesn't make it a fundamentally different operation. </span>
