You want to leave a 15% tip on a meal that cost $15.77.
First, convert the 15% 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 15%) by 100%.So, the conversational term "15%" becomes 15% / 100% = 0.15 in terms of a real mathematical number.
Second, you need to find out what 15% of your $15.77 meal cost is.This is always done by multiplying 0.15 by $15.77, or
0.15 x $15.77=$2.37.
So, the amount of tip you are going to leave is $2.37.
This makes the total cost of your meal (to write on your charge slip or other payment)
$15.77 + $2.37 = $18.14
$18.14 is your answer
Let x be equal to the number of drinks Yasmine consumed.
Jose had 2 times that drink so his number of consumed drink would be represented by 2x.
Sally had 3 fewer drink than Jose so her number of consumed drinks would be represented by 2x-3.
Altogether, the three of them consumed 72 drinks so your equation would be:
x+2x+(2x-3)=72
add like terms together:
5x-3=72
have the term with x be alone on one side of the equation, in this case by adding three to both sides:
5x=75
now divide both sides by five for the value of x and your answer is.....
x=15
