First lets calculate how much he makes in 7 hours from his hourly pay.
 Multiply 7 hours by $7, which equals $49, this is known as his base pay.

Now we subtract his base pay from what he wants to earn,
$87.50 - $49 = $38.50

He needs to earn $38.50 in tips.
 

He keeps 60% of his tip money, so we would divide the amount he needs ( $38.50) by 0.60 ( 60% as a decimal) to find out how much he needs in tips.

38.50 / 0.60 = 64.17

He needs to earn $64.17 in tips

A pan has an original price of $32 but is marked down by 15 percent. Which equation shows the new price of the price
sergejj [24]
We suggest, that the number 32 is 100% - because it is the output value of the task. 
<span>We suggest, that x is the value that we are looking for. </span>
<span>3. If 32 is 100%, so we can jot it down as 32=100%. </span>
<span>4. We know for sure, that x is 15% of the output value, so we can jot it down as x=15%. </span>
5. Now, these are the equations are we have.
1) 32=100%
2) x=15%
where the left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
32/x=100%/15%
6. Now we just have to work out the equation, and we'll get the answer that we want.

7. Answer for what is 15% of 32

32/x=100/15
<span>(32/x)*x=(100/15)*x       - </span>multiply both sides of the equation by x
<span>32=6.66666666667*x       - </span>divide both sides of the equation by (6.66666666667) to get x
<span>32/6.66666666667=x </span>
<span>4.8=x </span>
x=4.8

<span>15% of 32=4.8
So, the answer is $4.8
Hope this helped</span>

What is 3x^2-2n-5=0<br> please help me!!!
expeople1 [14]
The answer to your question is: 
It is a quadratic equation in 'x', with 'n' mistakenly typed in the second term..

Although you didn't ask for the solutions to the equation, I'm already here
so I might as well go through it and find them:

<span><u>3x² - 2x - 5 = 0</u></span>

In terms of the generic quadratic formula:
A = 3
B = -2
C = -5

Plug those into the quadratic formula, and you discover that

<u>x = -1</u>
and
<u>x = ⁵/₃</u>
