That is grose MG!     LOL

I had to look up what an 'almira' was :) 

I would have called it a wardrobe.     

I always used to bug my kids about keeping their almira tidy too.  

Now i have given up and just shut the bedroom door so I can't see the mess so often  LOL

Thanks Heureka.   I have not seen Horner's Method before      

I have included this thread in our Reference Material Sticky Topic.  

if an item cost $96 and was sold $169 what was the percentage of the profit

Profit = $73

fraction profit = 73/96

percent profit = 73/96*100   then put the % sign

Hello all,

Considering how hectic it was on Sunday it has been very quiet since.  I suppose the homework has not started in earnest in the US yet :/

Anyway we still had some really good answers from Geno3141, Cphill, Heureka, MathsGod1 and Rubenhh.  Thank you  

8.0    is 8 to the nearest tenth :)

Very nice presentation Chris :)

(0+0.02+0+0.51)^1/2 

(0+0.02+0+0.51)^(1/2)=

$${\left({\mathtt{0}}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{\mathtt{0.02}}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{\mathtt{0}}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{\mathtt{0.51}}\right)}^{\left({\frac{{\mathtt{1}}}{{\mathtt{2}}}}\right)} = {\mathtt{0.728\: \!010\: \!988\: \!928\: \!051\: \!8}}$$

Thanks Geno,

The technique that Geno has used is a really good one for everyone to understand :)
