The answer is 40. you already know that you have to multiply something by 0.80 to get 32. so you just do the inverse and divide. so 32/0.80 + 40. to check your work just multiply 40 by 0.80 and you should get 32.

Percent means parts out of 100

'of' means multiply

so
80% of how many is 32
translate
80/100 times how many=32
8/10 times how many=32
4/5 times how man=32
times both sides by 5/4 to clear fractio
how many=160/4
how many=40

answer is 40 goats

Dinosaur fossils are often dated by using an element other than carbon, like potassium-40, that has a longer half life (in this

Firlakuza [10]

The amount of substance left of a radioactive element of half life, $t_{\frac{1}{2}}$ after a time, t, is given by:

$N(t)=N_0\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^ \frac{t}{t_{ \frac{1}{2} }}$

Given that <span>potassium-40 has a half life of approximately 1.25 billion years.

The number of years it will take for 0.1% of potassium-40 to remain is obtained as follows:

$0.1=100\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^ \frac{t}{1.25}} \\ \\ \Rightarrow\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^ \frac{t}{1.25}}=0.001 \\ \\ \Rightarrow\frac{t}{1.25}\ln\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)=\ln(0.001) \\ \\ \Rightarrow \frac{t}{1.25}= \frac{\ln(0.001)}{\ln\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)} =9.966 \\ \\ t=9.966(1.25)=12.5$

Therefore, </span><span>the maximum age of a fossil that we could date using 40k is 12.5 billion years.</span>

What is the slope of the line described by the equation below?

butalik [34]

Y = -6x + 3
In y = mx + b form, the slope will be in ur m position...

y = mx + b
y = -6x + 3

so ur slope (the number in the m position) is -6

batteries which normally sell for $1.89 a pack are on sale for $3.40 for two packs. approximately what percentage markdown does

aev [14]

Normally, two packs of batteries cost $1.89*2=$3.78. The discounted price of $3.40 divided by the standard price of $3.78 for two packs is approximately .9, or 90 percent. Therefore, we have an approximately ten percent discount with the sale.
