Answer:
D - (D/5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's imagine that D equals 100 dollars -
Well, we know that to get 20% of an amount, we need to divide the amount by five. So let's do that -
100 / 5 = 20
We now know that 20% of 100 dollars is equal to 20 dollars. We have now finished the first part. On to the second part.
We now need to take away 20% of 100 dollars off of 100 dollars - this is the price of the item after the discount.
100 - 20 = 80 dollars.
We now fit in D instead of 100 dollars -
D - (D/5)
As Tina only has 1/4 of a cake. For simplicity sake we can do the calculation with a whole cake and then multiply by four!
First it is stated that cake is divided into six pieces, giving us our first number.
So,
6 x 4 = 24
This means that each friend will get 1/24th of the whole cake.
Total area of the rectangular land = 2^15 sq. miles
= 32768 sq. miles
total area of the pieces being sold = 8^3 sq. miles
= 512 sq. miles
now total no. of pieces = total area of the land / the area of samaller land that's being sold
= 32768 / 512
= 64
so the actual number of pieces is 64
