Answer:

34 years

Step-by-step explanation:

f = s + 28          Eq. 1

f+8 = 3(s+8)      Eq. 2

f = father age

s = son age

replacing Eq. 1 on Eq. 2

(s+28) + 8 = 3(s+8)

s + 36 = 3*s + 3*8

s + 36 = 3s + 24

36 - 24 = 3s - s

12 = 2s

12/2 = s

s = 6

from the Eq. 1

f = 6 + 28

f = 34

Check

from the Eq. 2

34+8 = 3(6+8)

42 = 3*14

Carlos's restaurant check is for $24.50. If he wants to add a 17% tip, what total amount should he pay?
Licemer1 [7]
First, convert the 17% to an actual number that can be used in a calculation. For percents,this is always done by simply dividing the percent (in this case 17%) by 100%.So, the conversational term "17%" becomes 17% / 100% = 0.17 in terms of a real mathematical number.
Second, you need to find out what 17% of your $24.50 meal cost is.This is always done by multiplying 0.17 by $24.50

0.17 x $24.50=$4.16.
So, the amount of tip you are going to leave is $4.16.

This makes the total cost of your meal (to write on your charge slip or other payment)

$24.50 + $4.16 = $28.67.
