*the sum of two numbers is 400. if the first number is decreased by 20% and the second number is decreased by 15%, then the sum would be 68 less. find the numbers after the decrease.

The two numbers are .8*160=128 and .85*240=204

Step-by-step explanation:

First sentence:                 x+y=400

Second sentence           .8x+.85y=400-68

Solve y in the first sentence:  y=400-x

Plug first into second:     .8x+.85(400-x)=332

Distribute:                        .8x+.85(400)-.85x=332

Combine like terms:        -.05x+.85(400)=332

Simplify(multiply):              -.05x+      340=332

Subtract 340 on both sides:    -.05x       =332-340

Simplify(subtract):                     -.05x        =-8

Divide both sides by -.05:              x        =-8/-.05

Simplify (division):                           x        = 160

So y=400-x=400-160=240

answer: the answer is (b) amie should have multiplied

step-by-step explanation: given a sphere and a cylinder with same radius and height.

let, 'r' be the radius of the cylinder and sphere and 'h' be the height of the cylinder. according to the question,

r = h.

now, the volume of the sphere will be

and the volume of the cylinder will be

therefore, we have

thus, ammie should have multiplied the volume of the sphere
