Answer:  Football = 35 children

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

I created a Venn diagram and labeled it as follows:

Tennis only = x

Both Tennis & Football = y

<u>Football only </u>= <u>x + y     </u>

Total children = x + y + x + y

                42 = 2x + 2y

We are also given that y = 2x <em>(twice as many play both tennis & football as just play tennis)</em>

Now we have two equations and can use substitution to solve for x & y:

42 = 2x + 2y

 y = 2x

                      42 = (y) + 2y

                      42 = 3y

                      14 = y

Now let's find x:

y = 2x

14 = 2x

7  = x

We are asked to find how many children play football.

                       Football = x + y        

<u>Both Tennis & Football</u> =<u>    y     </u>

             Total Football =  x + 2y

                                    = 7 + 2(14)

                                    = 7 + 28

                                   = 35

If there bill was 58.65 and they gave a sever a 15% tip, how much did they pay altogether
masha68 [24]

Answer:

<u>$67.43 altogether</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

A 15% percent tip means 15% OF the bill.

15% of 58.65

0.15*58.65=8.7975

You can't really pay $8.7975, so you would round to the nearest one hundredth which is $8.78.

Now you add the $8.78 to $58.65 which will give you $67.43.

I hope that helps!
