sandy had $ 140 left after spending 30 % of the money she took for shopping . how much money did sandy take along with her ?
let the money sandy took for shopping be x . 0.7 x = 140 x = 200 the answer is b .
a = 100 - 30 b = a / 100 c = 140 / b

a total of $ 20,000 was invested in two certificates of deposit at simple annual interest rates of 6 percent and 8 percent , respectively . if the total interest on the two certificates was $ 1,440 at the end of one year , what fractional part of the $ 20.000 was invested at the higher rate ?

how much space , in cubic units , is left vacant when maximum number of 2 x 2 x 2 cubes are fitted in a rectangular box measuring 8 x 10 x 9 ?
"no of cubes that can be accommodated in box = ( 8 * 10 * 9 ) / ( 2 * 2 * 2 ) 8 * 10 in numerator can be perfectly divided by 2 * 2 in denominator . side with length 9 ca n ' t be perfectly divided by 2 and hence is the limiting factor . closet multiple of 2 less that 9 is 8 . so vacant area in cube = = 10 * 8 ( 9 - 8 ) = 10 * 8 * 1 = 80 ans - e"
