Y=1/x solve for x
x=1/y now reverse lables...
y=1/x
Yes that is the same equation you started with. What that means is the the inverse function in this case produces the same exact graph :)
He started the day off with 8 dollars and ended his day with 83 dollars
Answer:
a)E=.05t +34
b)$54
c)$600
Step-by-step explanation:
a) he gets 5% of tips out of all tips people gave to the restaurant , 5% --> .05 (as a decimal) --> this is "t"
he earns an extra $34 a night of work. --> this is the constant
E= --> the total earned that night
E=.05t +34
b) simply plug in the total tip into the equation
E=.05(400) + 34
E=$54
--> he earned $54 that night
c) since we are given the total earned that night, we now plug in for y. in this case we plug "$64" for y
we find t, which is tip the restaurant was given
--> 64 = .05t +34
-34. -34
30= .05t ---> divide by .05 each side
t= $600
the restaurant was tiped 600 dollars and Alun was paid 64 dollars that night of work
hoped this helped:)
"17 less than" implies subtraction of the product of 3 and m, so the equation would be, if solving for x:
x=3m-17
Hey there!
When dealing with percent word problems, the word "is" means equals. Let's see what we can do with your problem.
If the small school had 60% boys, it will have 40% girls. The number of boys <em>is</em> 48, which should equal 60% of the total, which we can model below, with t representing the total number of kids. In decimal form, 60% is 0.6.
0.6t=48
We divide both sides by 0.6.
t=80
Therefore, there are 80 total kids at the school.
We can also check our answer below.
BOYS: 0.6(80)= 48
GIRLS: 0.4(80)=32
48+32=80
I hope that this helps!
