Jackie's restaurant bill was $23. 50, and the tax was 8%. Jackie left a 20% tip on the post-tax bill. How much was the tip Jacki

Ksju [112]

well, the subtotal or pre-tax bill is $23.50, now let's add the 8% tax and

$\begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{a\% of b}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ \left( \cfrac{a}{100} \right)\cdot b \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}~\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\textit{8\% of 23.50}}{\left( \cfrac{8}{100} \right)23.50}\implies 1.88$

so the post-tax bill is 23.50 + 1.88 = 25.38, and Jackie's tip is 20% of that

$\begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{a\% of b}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ \left( \cfrac{a}{100} \right)\cdot b \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}~\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\textit{20\% of 25.38}}{\left( \cfrac{20}{100} \right)25.38}\implies 5.076\qquad \approx 5.08$

olga2289 [7]

Let , smallest integer is x.

So , other one is x + 1.

By , given conditions :

$x( x + 1 ) = 8x + 18\\\\x^2+x=8x+18\\\\x^2-7x-18=0\\\\x^2-9x+2x-18=0\\\\x(x-9)+2(x-9)=0\\\\x=-2 \ ,\ x = 9$
