Answer:
The number of friends that went out for dinner is 8
And their bill is $238
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's assume that the number of friends that went out for dinner to be x
And the bill for the dinner to be y
If each person contributed $32 and paid off the bill,they will have a balance of $18
32x - 18 = y_____equation 1
If each person contributed $35 and paid off the bill and also 15% tip,they will have a balance of $6.30
35x - 6.3 = y + (15% of y)
35x - 6.3 = y + (3y/20)
Open up the bracket
35x - 6.3 =(20y + 3y)/20
700x - 126 = 23y______equation 2
From equation 1,y = 32x - 18
Put the above in equation 2 and we have
700x - 126 = 23(32x -18)
700x - 126 = 736x - 414
collect like terms
36x = 288
x = 288/36
x = 8
Remember that equation 1 says that y = 32x - 18 and we now know that x = 8 .
Substitute and we have
(32 × 8) - 18
y = 238
The number of friends that went out for dinner is 8
And their bill is $238

Answer:
60 pages
Step-by-step explanation:
Day 1 : 1/3 book
Day 2: 1/4 book
Day 3: 1/5 book
Day 4: 13 pages
Total days 1 through 3 = 1/3 + 1/4 + 1/5 = 20/60 + 15/60 + 12/60 = 47/60
Day 4 = 1 - 47/60 = 13/60
Answer:
$1,956.80
Step-by-step explanation:
For amounts over $6000, the commission can be computed as ...
0.14s -300 . . . . . . for sales (s) ≥ 6000
So, for $16,120 in sales, the commission is ...
0.14×$16,120 -300 = $2,256.80 -300 = $1,956.80
__
The commission schedule suggests that for larger amounts, you divide the problem into two parts: calculate the commission on $6000, and separately calculate the commission on the amount over $6000.
0.14(s -6000) + 0.09(6000)
= 0.14s - 0.14·6000 +0.09·6000
= 0.14s -300 . . . . the formula used above for s ≥ 6000
