question from student (about an unrelated problem):

Hello, I have a basic math question and I think the person who gave me the answer got offended. In the equation, K=100*20squared/8, how do you get 500. Isn't 20 squared 400 then divided by 8=50?

What happened to the "100"?

100*20squared/8 = 100*400/8 = 100*50 = 5000
