multiply(divide(multiply(0.05, 20), 10), const_100)
"we are given that 0.05 ounces of water evaporated each day . furthermore , we know that this process happened over a 20 - day period . to calculate the total amount of water that evaporated during this time frame we need to multiply 0.05 by 20 . this gives us : 0.05 x 20 = 1 ounces finally , we are asked for “ what percent ” of the original amount of water evaporated during this period . to determine this percentage , we have to make sure we translate the expression correctly . we can translate it to : ( amount evaporated / original amount ) x 100 % ( 1 / 10 ) x 100 % ( 10 / 100 ) x 100 % = 10 % answer e"
