Barbie is thinking of a number. twenty less than on third of the number 72. find barbie's

First find one third of the number 72. We can do this by either dividing 72 by 3, or by multiplying 72 by 1/3. I will divide 72 by 3.

72/3 = 24

We have completed half of the problem; one third of the number 72. Now the number Barbie is thinking of is twenty less than the number we just found, 24.

To solve this problem subtract 20 from one third of the number 72; 24.

24 - 20 = 4

The number that Barbie is thinking of is 4.

so first since the number is 1/3 i would divide by 3 \

72 divided by 3 is 24

24 - 20 is 4

the camry sales+accord sale=828,000. to make it so the two numbers are 18 thousand apart and still equal 828,000, you first need to find out what half of 828,000 is. 828,000/2=414,000. for the two numbers to equal 828,000, you have to add the same amount as you subtract from the middle. in this case, the number is 9,000 because it's half of 18,000. to equal 828,000, you have to add 9,000 to 414,000 for the camry and subtract 9,000 from 414,000 for the accord. 414,000+9,000=423,000.

414,000-9,000=405,000.

423,000+405,000=828,000.

423,000-405,000=18,

hope it
