Shawn wanted to model the number 13,450 using 13,450 using base-ten blocks how many large cubes, flats, and longs does he need to model the number

13 cubes, 4 flats, 5 longs

Step-by-step explanation:

Base-ten is basically just analyzing the place values of each number in the given value.

A cube represents 1,000, a flat represents 100, and a long represents 10.

Looking at the number 13,450, we can see that there are 13 thousands in this (13,000). This means that we will need 13 cubes.

We can also see that there are 4 hundreds in this (400), meaning we need 4 flats.

Also, there are 5 tens in this (50), so we need 5 longs.

Hope this helped!

step-by-step explanation:

30% of $420 is 0.30($420) = $126 and $420 + $126 = $546.

or, 130% of $420 is 1.3($420) = $546.

notice that this is not the $600 original list price with which we started.

why doesn't this work?

the method does not work because 30% of $420 is not the same amount as the 30% of $600. it may seem obvious when stated this way, but it is a very common error made on problems of this type. we cannot just use the same percent and get back to the original amount because we are taking that percent of a different value.

to work problems of this type correctly, it is generally best to write an equation for the situation and then solve.

example: since (100% – 30%)(original price) = (sale price)

70% of the   (original price) is $420.

0.7x   = 420

x = 600

the original cost was $600.

we may also solve this problem using the two-step method. working the problem in two steps requires us to use more algebra skills. we have to know that x = 1x (identity property of multiplicationtext annotation indicator) and that 1x – 0.3x = 0.7x (subtracting like terms). then we solve the problem as follows:

(original price) – 30%(original price) = sale price

x – 0.3x = 420

0.7x = $420

x = 600

the original cost was $600.  

note that with both of the above methods we do obtain the correct original amount.

example: after a 5% pay raise, hermione is earning $22,680 per year. what was she earning before the pay raise?

105% of (original salary) = current salary

1.05x = 22,680

equation image indicator

x = 21,600

hermione earned $21,600 per year before the pay raise.

this is an example so maybe you will get how to at least do it!

19.

step-by-step explanation:

you add the 9 in the tens column since it is a single digit and 9 plus zero is 9 so it is 19
