Answer:

Yes! |-15| = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Many people think of absolute value (the two bars symbol around the -15) as ALWAYS POSITIVE.

You can also think of absolute value as a distance. If you move 15 units, it doesn't matter in what direction you go. 15 units travelled is 15 units.

Lastly, absolute value has a V-shaped graph, that is because its always positive.

Yes, the lines on either side of the number -15 mean absolute value. Meaning that whatever number inside of the lines is positive.

Katena32 [7]

He earns 18% tips on his food sales. So, his tips are proportional to the amount of food he sells.

From what you know about the restaurant business, what would have to be true for his tips to be proportional to the amount of hours he works?

Do you think that situation (Michael's amount of food sales being the same every hour) is likely in a real restaurant?
