Javier and his friends go out to eat. The restaurant they chose automatically adds a 15% gratuity to their food bill since they

are a party of 12. The total bill after the automatic 15% gratuity was $213.90. Because they received such good service, the group decided to add an extra $20 to the total bill as an additional tip.
So, instead of leaving a 15% tip, Javier and his friends ended up leaving a tip that was about ( ) % of the food bill.

well, we know that 213.90 includes the 15% gratuity, so if the meal price was say "x", namely that is the 100%, and we add 15% to that, then 100% + 15% = 115%, so 213.90 is really the 115%.

now, if 213.90 is the 115.%, what is "x"?  the 100%.


\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 213.90&115\\ x&100 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{213.9}{x}=\cfrac{115}{100}\implies 21390=115x \\\\\\ \cfrac{21390}{115}=x\implies 186=x


so since we know the meal without the tip is 186 bucks, the tip was then 213.90 - 186 = 27.90.

but they got extra potato wedges with butter and the waitress was wearing her best hat, they added $20 more, so the tip ended  up as 27.90 + 20 = 47.90.

now, if the cost of the meal was $186 and that is the 100%, what is 47.90 off of it in percentage?


\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 186&100\\ 47.90&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{186}{47.90}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies 186x=4790 \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{4790}{186}\implies x\approx \stackrel{\%}{25.75}

Which system of equations can be used to find the roots of the equation4x^5-12x^4+6x=5x^3-2x?
goblinko [34]

Answer:

y = 4x^5 - 12x^4 + 6x and

y = 5x^3 - 2x

Step-by-step explanation:

The system of equations that can be used to find the roots of the equation 4x^5-12x^4+6x=5x^3-2x are;

y = 4x^5 - 12x^4 + 6x and

y = 5x^3 - 2x

We simply formulate two equations by splitting the left and the right hand sides of the given equation.

The next step is to graph these two system of equations on the same graph in order to determine the solution(s) to the given original equation.

The roots of the given equation will be given by the points where these two equations will intersect.

The graph of these two equations is as shown in the attachment below;

The roots are thus;

x = 0 and x = 0.813

Divide 3xsquared - 11x - 4 by x - 4<br><br>a. x+1<br>b. x-23<br>c. 3x+1<br>d. 3x-23​
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

c. 3x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the divisor is in the form of x - c, use what is called Synthetic Division. Remember, in this formula, <em>-c</em> gives you the OPPOSITE terms of what they really are, so do not forget it. Anyway, here is how it is done:

4| 3 −11 −4

↓ 12 4

_______________

3 1 0 → 3x + 1

You start by placing the <em>c</em> in the top left corner, then list all the coefficients of your dividend [3x² - 11x - 4]. You bring down the original term closest to <em>c</em> then begin your multiplication. Now depending on what symbol your result is tells you whether the next step is to subtract or add, then you continue this process starting with multiplication all the way up until you reach the end. Now, when the last term is 0, that means you have no remainder. Finally, your quotient is one degree less than your dividend, so that 3 in your quotient can be a 3x, and the 1 follows right behind it, giving you the quotient of 3x + 1.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
