Write a real world problem that involves a percent then model the percent used in the problem

1 answer:

7 0

You go to a restaurant and your bill is $35.00. Your service was excellent so you leave a 20% tip. What was the total amount paid for the bill including the tip?

10%=$1 for every $10
15%=$1.50 for every $10
20%=2% for every $10

10% of the bill would be $3.50(move the decimal to the tens place)
15% of the bill would be $5.25( halve the 10% and add it to the original 10% tip; $3.50+$1.75)
20% of the bill would be $7.00(double the 10% tip)

Answer:

Her first exam score was a 78, her second exam score was a 89, and his third exam score was a 94.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula for the mean: sum of elements / number of elements

Let x represent her first exam score.

Her second exam score can be represented by x + 11, since it was 11 points better than her first.

Her third exam score can be represented by (x + 11) + 5, since it was 5 points better than her second.

Plug in all of these expressions into the mean formula. Plug in 87 as the mean, and plug in 3 as the number of elements (since there are 3 scores):

mean = sum of elements / number of elements

87 = ( (x) + (x + 11) + (x + 11) + 5 ) / 3

Add like terms and solve for x:

87 = (3x + 27) / 3

261 = 3x + 27

234 = 3x

78 = x

So, her first score was a 78.

Find her second score by adding 11 to this:

78 + 11 = 89

Find her third score by adding 5 to the second score:

89 + 5 = 94

Her first exam score was a 78, her second exam score was a 89, and his third exam score was a 94.

Answer:

1) B. $12

2) B. Rich burns 1 more calorie per minute than Katie

3) C. Jeffery walks 5 meters per minute slower than Fumi.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) earnings / hours = salary

salary = 24/2 = 60/5 = 96/8 = 12

salary = $12

2) The question describes Rich's graph to have the function of "y=8x." The graph shown that represents Katie's number of burned calories has the function of "y=7x." From that we can conclude Rich burns one more calorie per minute. See attached file for graph.

3) The question describes Fumi's graph to have the function of "y=85x." In order to find the function of Jeffrey's graph, we must use the two points provided from the graph. The point (10, 800) tells us that the point (1,80) would also fall on the line. From that, we can determine Jeffery's function to be "y=80x." 80 is 5 less than 85, so Fumi walks 5 meters per minute faster than Jeffery.
